Note: West Bountiful's own Building Permits page (wbcityut.gov/building-permits) still instructs applicants to submit 'Building Plans/Drawings per 2015 IRC' (re-confirmed live 2026-07-16), which appears to be stale/unrevised web copy rather than a deliberate local amendment — Utah's Building Code Commission sets a single statewide IRC edition and West Bountiful does not publish any ordinance opting out of the current statewide cycle, so the current statewide 2021 IRC is used here rather than the page's stale reference.; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) with Utah amendments — statewide-adopted edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d), in force since July 1, 2026 (superseded the 2021 IPC).; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) with Utah amendments — statewide-adopted edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e), in force since July 1, 2026 (superseded the 2021 IMC).; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — statewide-adopted edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f), in force since July 1, 2026; not separately itemized on West Bountiful's own Building Permits page, added here as it applies statewide.; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) with Utah amendments — statewide-adopted edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i), in force since July 1, 2026 (superseded the 2021 IEBC).; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) with Utah amendments — statewide-adopted edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h), in force since July 1, 2026 (superseded the 2021 IECC; one edition applies statewide, no separate residential/commercial split).; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — statewide-adopted edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g), unchanged by the July 1, 2026 code cycle flip..
