Codes adopted

South Weber City is subject to the Utah State Construction Code (Utah Code § 15A-1-102 et seq.), which adopts the International Building Code (IBC), International Residential Code (IRC), International Plumbing Code (IPC), International Mechanical Code (IMC), International Existing Building Code (IEBC), and International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) with statewide amendments; the current statewide edition set is the 2021 I-Codes (2024 editions scheduled to take effect July 1, 2026 per the Utah Uniform Building Standards Act cycle). South Weber's own Building Department page and forms do not publish a city-specific code-edition statement beyond referencing 'building codes' generally, so the applicable edition is the statewide-adopted edition rather than a city-specific amendment — this could not be independently confirmed on a South Weber-specific ordinance page beyond the code index (see localAmendments note on codelibrary.amlegal.com access).2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — statewide-adopted edition per Utah Code § 15A-1-102; no South Weber-specific amendment to the NEC edition was found.
