Codes adopted
2015 International Building Code (IBC) — expressly cited in the Daggett County Commercial Building Permit plans checklist ('Type of construction (required) IBC 2015 Chapter 6', 'Occupancy type (required) IBC 2015 Chapter 3', 'Occupant load (required) IBC 2015 Section 1004')2015 International Residential Code (IRC) — expressly cited in the Daggett County Residential Building Permit packet ('SECTION R109 OF THE 2015 INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE REQUIRES THAT YOU HAVE INSPECTION DURING CONSTRUCTION', with full R109.1 series inspection text reproduced in the county's own packet)NOTE: Utah Code § 15A-2-103 sets a newer statewide-adopted baseline (2021 editions of IBC/IRC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC/ISPSC, with 2024 editions effective July 1, 2026, and 2023 NEC statewide). Daggett County's own public-facing permit packets (residential packet, commercial packet) still explicitly cite the 2015 IBC/IRC by section number as of this verification (2026-07-08) — this is analogous to other small Utah counties in this corpus (e.g., Cache, Rich) whose public materials lag the statewide-adopted edition. The statewide-adopted edition per § 15A-2-103 is the legally controlling one; Daggett County's own documentation has not been updated to reflect it.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)
