Clinton, Utah has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (Appendices C & J) — governing edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a), effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition; NOTE (2026-07-16): Clinton City's own Design Criteria document (rev. 07/03/2023) still lists 2021 and has not been confirmed updated to reflect this statewide transition — the statute governs regardless of the city document's lag; 2021 International Residential Code (Appendix AQ) — Clinton City Design Criteria, rev. 07/03/2023; one- and two-family dwellings and townhomes; unaffected by the 7/1/2026 statute revision (Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b)/(c)) — Clinton's Design Criteria is current on this point; 2015 IRC Chapter 11, Energy Efficiency (residential) — Clinton City Design Criteria, rev. 07/03/2023; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — governing edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d), effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition; NOTE (2026-07-16): Clinton City's own Design Criteria document (rev. 07/03/2023) still lists 2021 and has not been confirmed updated; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — governing edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e), effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition; NOTE (2026-07-16): Clinton City's own Design Criteria document (rev. 07/03/2023) still lists 2021 and has not been confirmed updated; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — governing edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f), effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition; NOTE (2026-07-16): Clinton City's own Design Criteria document (rev. 07/03/2023) still lists 2021 and has not been confirmed updated; 2021 International Fire Code (IFC) — Clinton City Design Criteria, rev. 07/03/2023; 2020 National Electrical Code (NEC) — Clinton City Design Criteria, rev. 07/03/2023; this is one edition behind the 2023 NEC baseline confirmed in other Davis County cities (e.g., Kaysville) under Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g) — Clinton's own published Design Criteria document is the only NEC-edition source found for this city and had not been superseded by a newer published revision as of verification; the 2023 NEC baseline itself was unaffected by the 7/1/2026 statute revision, so this gap predates and is unrelated to that transition; 2015 International Energy Conservation Code (residential provisions) — Clinton City Design Criteria, rev. 07/03/2023; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (commercial provisions) — governing edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h), effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition; NOTE (2026-07-16): Clinton City's own Design Criteria document (rev. 07/03/2023) still lists 2021 and has not been confirmed updated; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — governing edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i), effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition; NOTE (2026-07-16): Clinton City's own Design Criteria document (rev. 07/03/2023) still lists 2021 and has not been confirmed updated; Accessibility Code — 2021 IBC (ICC/ANSI A117.1-2017) — Clinton City Design Criteria, rev. 07/03/2023; 1997 ICBO Uniform Administrative Code (UAC), Chapter 3 and Table 1-A (as modified) — governs the Building Permit Fee valuation-fee-schedule methodology per Clinton City Consolidated Fee Schedule, FY 2026-27; 1997 Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings — adopted by Clinton City Code § 5-3-2(2), with local exceptions (references to 'health officer' mean the Davis County Environmental Health and Laboratory Division; recovered funds return to the general fund rather than a repair/demolition fund); GOVERNANCE NOTE: Clinton City Code § 5-3-2(1) adopts 'the current editions of the technical/model codes as adopted by the State of Utah and as published by the International Code Council' as its baseline — i.e., Clinton does not independently select code editions the way some sibling cities' own Design Criteria documents do; it defers to the statewide code suite under Utah Code Title 15A. Because Clinton's own code text defers to the state, and the statute (Utah Code § 15A-2-103) is the ultimate authority here, the 2024 editions of IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC(commercial)/IEBC that took effect 2026-07-01 govern in Clinton even though the city's own Design Criteria PDF (rev. 07/03/2023) has not been confirmed updated to show them. Clinton's Design Criteria remains the authoritative source for items the statute revision did not change (IRC, 2015 IRC Ch.11, NEC, IFC, accessibility code) and for local specifics not covered by the statute.; NOTE: Effective July 1, 2026 (now in force) — 2024 editions of IBC, IPC, IMC, IFGC, and IECC (commercial) replaced the 2021 editions statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (version effective 7/1/2026, superseded 1/1/2027; text independently re-verified live at le.utah.gov 2026-07-16). Clinton's Design Criteria document (last revised 07/03/2023) had not been confirmed updated to reflect this transition as of 2026-07-16 — confirm current adopted edition with the Building Division at (801) 614-0740. The 2021 IRC and 2020 NEC listed in Clinton's Design Criteria were unaffected by this statute revision (Utah's statewide NEC baseline is 2023; Clinton's Design Criteria was already one edition behind that baseline for an unrelated reason, per the NEC line above).. Local amendments apply — see the Clinton overview page for the full list.
