Unincorporated Daggett County, Utah has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendices C and J — legally controlling in unincorporated Daggett County per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a), in force statewide since July 1, 2026 and binding on counties per § 15A-1-204. HISTORY / COUNTY LAG: Daggett County's own Commercial Building Permit plans checklist still expressly cites the long-superseded 2015 IBC by section ('Type of construction (required) IBC 2015 Chapter 6', 'Occupancy type (required) IBC 2015 Chapter 3', 'Occupant load (required) IBC 2015 Section 1004') — re-confirmed by direct PDF fetch 2026-07-16; see NOTE below.; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC), including Appendix AQ — legally controlling in unincorporated Daggett County per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b) and (1)(c); the IRC edition was NOT changed by the July 1, 2026 statewide amendment and remains the 2021 edition. HISTORY / COUNTY LAG: Daggett County's own Residential Building Permit packet still expressly cites the long-superseded 2015 IRC ('SECTION R109 OF THE 2015 INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE REQUIRES THAT YOU HAVE INSPECTION DURING CONSTRUCTION', with the full R109.1 series inspection text reproduced in the county's own packet) — see NOTE below.; Utah Code § 15A-2-103 sets the statewide-adopted baseline: the 2024 editions of the IBC, IPC, IMC, IFGC, IECC and IEBC, plus the residential provisions of the 2024 ISPSC, are in force statewide effective July 1, 2026, alongside the 2021 IRC and the 2023 NEC (both unchanged). Under § 15A-1-204 this baseline binds counties as well as municipalities. Daggett County's own public permit packets — residential and commercial — still cite the 2015 IBC/IRC by section number, and the Commercial Building Permit Plans Checklist also cites the 2015 IMC for mechanical design (IMC § 312) and duct sizing (IMC § 603). The statewide edition under § 15A-2-103 is the legally controlling one, so design to it and expect the county's handouts to reference the older editions.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); statewide in force (Daggett County's own permit forms do not name a specific NEC edition). Local amendments apply — see the Unincorporated Daggett County overview page for the full list.
