West Point, Utah has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including appendices C & J — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a); supersedes the 2021 edition. West Point City's official New Home Design Criteria document (re-fetched live 2026-07-16, unchanged) still lists '2021 International Building Code, including appendices C & J' effective July 1, 2023, and has not been updated for the 7/1/2026 statewide transition — the statute controls over the lagging city document.; 2021 International Residential Code, including appendix AQ, except residential provisions of Chapter 11 (Energy Efficiency) — REMAINS CURRENT; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b)/(c) did NOT change this edition in the 7/1/2026 amendment. Consistent with West Point's own New Home Design Criteria document.; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d); supersedes the 2021 edition. West Point's Design Criteria document (re-fetched live 2026-07-16) still lists '2021 International Plumbing Code' and has not been updated.; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e); supersedes the 2021 edition. West Point's Design Criteria document (re-fetched live 2026-07-16) still lists '2021 International Mechanical Code' and has not been updated.; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f); supersedes the 2021 edition. West Point's Design Criteria document (re-fetched live 2026-07-16) still lists '2021 International Fuel Gas Code' and has not been updated.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — CURRENT statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); UNCHANGED by the 7/1/2026 amendment (2023 has been the statewide NEC edition since before this cycle). West Point's Design Criteria document (re-fetched live 2026-07-16) lists '2020 National Electrical Code issued by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA),' which is NOT a valid statewide-adopted edition and has not been corrected by the City — the statute controls. Confirm the currently enforced NEC edition directly with the Building Department before relying on the City's own document for a live project.; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), single unsplit statewide edition — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h); COLLAPSES the residential/commercial split previously listed here into one edition, since § 15A-2-103 does not carry a residential/commercial IECC split. West Point's own Design Criteria document (re-fetched live 2026-07-16, unchanged) still splits '2015 International Energy Conservation Code (residential)' and '2021 International Energy Conservation Code (commercial)' — both stale editions, both now superseded by the single 2024 statewide edition; the prior residential/commercial split is preserved below as explicit history.; HISTORY (superseded by the single 2024 IECC entry above): West Point's Design Criteria document lists the residential IECC as the 2015 edition and the commercial IECC as the 2021 edition, both effective July 1, 2023 — this residential/commercial split reflected the pre-7/1/2026 code cycle and does not exist under the current statute, which adopts one unsplit IECC edition.; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i); supersedes the 2021 edition. West Point's Design Criteria document (re-fetched live 2026-07-16) still lists '2021 International Existing Building Code' and has not been updated.; Residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n); supersedes the 2021 edition. West Point's Design Criteria document (re-fetched live 2026-07-16) still lists '2021 International Swimming Pool & Spa' and has not been updated.; MBI 1200 and MBI 1205 (manufactured/modular construction standards) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(o); not itemized in West Point's Design Criteria document, added here per statute since the City's own materials omit it.; NOTE (2026-07-16 re-verification): Utah Code § 15A-2-103, version effective 7/1/2026 (superseded 1/1/2027), took effect 15 days before this re-verification. IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC/residential ISPSC are now 2024 statewide; IRC (2021) and NEC (2023) did NOT change. West Point's own New Home Design Criteria PDF was re-fetched live 2026-07-16 and is byte-identical in substance to what this file previously described: still headed 'Effective July 1, 2023' and listing 2021 IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IEBC/ISPSC, a residential/commercial IECC split (2015/2021), and an outright incorrect '2020 National Electrical Code' — none of these have been updated by the City. The statute is cited directly as governing throughout; the City's lagging document is preserved above as recorded history, not deleted.. Local amendments apply — see the West Point overview page for the full list.
