South Weber, Utah has adopted: South Weber City is subject to the Utah State Construction Code (Utah Code § 15A-2-103), which as of 7/1/2026 CURRENTLY adopts: the 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendices C and J, § 15A-2-103(1)(a); the 2021 International Residential Code (IRC), § 15A-2-103(1)(b), UNCHANGED by the 7/1/2026 amendment, plus Appendix AQ of the 2021 IRC, § 15A-2-103(1)(c); the 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC), § 15A-2-103(1)(d); the 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC), § 15A-2-103(1)(e); the 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), § 15A-2-103(1)(f); the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), single unsplit statewide edition, § 15A-2-103(1)(h); the 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC), § 15A-2-103(1)(i); and the residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC), § 15A-2-103(1)(n). South Weber's own Building Department page and forms (live-checked 2026-07-16) do not publish a city-specific code-edition statement beyond referencing 'building codes' generally, so the applicable edition is the statewide-adopted edition rather than a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). No city-page conflict to record since South Weber publishes no edition statement of its own to contradict the statute.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — statewide-adopted edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); UNCHANGED by the 7/1/2026 amendment; no South Weber-specific amendment to the NEC edition was found.; NOTE (2026-07-16 re-verification): The Utah Code § 15A-2-103 version effective 7/1/2026 (superseded 1/1/2027) took effect 15 days before this re-verification; this entry previously described the 2024-cycle codes in future tense ('scheduled to take effect July 1, 2026') and as a single undifferentiated '2021 I-Codes' set. That date has now passed, so IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC/residential ISPSC are now individually itemized above and stated as CURRENT (2024 editions), while IRC (2021) and NEC (2023) are explicitly flagged as unchanged. Utah's statewide-mandatory code regime (Utah Code § 15A-1-204) binds South Weber directly since it publishes no city-specific edition page of its own.. Local amendments apply — see the South Weber overview page for the full list.
