Woods Cross, Utah has adopted: 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) with Appendix AE and AQ — remains current per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b)/(c), unchanged by the 7/1/2026 statewide amendment. Consistent with Woods Cross City's official Building Codes and Design Criteria handout.; 2015 International Residential Code Chapter 11 (residential energy provisions) — superseded: Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h) adopts a single unsplit 2024 IECC statewide as of 7/1/2026 (see the consolidated IECC entry below), so this residential-energy carve-out to the 2015 edition no longer reflects the current statute. Woods Cross's own Building Codes and Design Criteria handout still lists '2015 International residential Code Chapter 11' under 'RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CODES' 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. Woods Cross's Building Codes and Design Criteria handout still lists '2021 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code' and has not been updated.; 2024 International Building Code (IBC) with Appendix C and J — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a); supersedes the 2021 edition. Woods Cross's handout labels this 'COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION BUILDING CODES' but § 15A-2-103 does not itself carry a residential/commercial IBC split — the IBC applies per the statute regardless of the handout's section heading. Woods Cross's handout still lists '2021 International Building Code with Appendix C and J' and has not been updated.; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — current statewide from 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e); supersedes the 2021 edition. Woods Cross's handout still lists '2021 International Mechanical Code' and has not been updated.; 2021 International Fire Code (IFC) — per Woods Cross City Building Codes and Design Criteria handout; NOTE: the IFC is adopted under Utah Code Title 15A Chapter 5, not § 15A-2-103 (which governs the IBC/IRC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC/NEC/residential-ISPSC/MBI editions in this array) — § 15A-2-103 does not itself adopt or list an IFC edition, so this entry is unaffected by the 7/1/2026 § 15A-2-103 amendment.; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d); supersedes the 2021 edition. Woods Cross's handout still lists '2021 International Plumbing 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. Woods Cross's handout still lists '2021 International Fuel Gas Code' and has not been updated.; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), a single unsplit statewide edition — current statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h). It supersedes both the 2021 edition that Woods Cross's handout lists under 'COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION BUILDING CODES' and the 2015 IRC Chapter 11 residential-energy carve-out listed separately under 'RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CODES' (see history entry above); § 15A-2-103 carries no residential/commercial IECC split. Woods Cross's handout has not been updated for either, so work from the statute.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — current statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g), and unchanged by the 7/1/2026 amendment (2023 has been the statewide NEC edition since before this cycle). Woods Cross City's Building Codes and Design Criteria handout lists '2020 National Electrical Code,' which is not a valid statewide-adopted edition; the statute controls, so 2023 is the correct edition. Confirm the currently enforced NEC edition with the Building Department before relying on the City's own document for a live project.; 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. Woods Cross's handout still lists '2021 International Existing Building Code' and has not been updated.; 2009 ICC/ANSI A117.1 Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities — per Woods Cross City Building Codes and Design Criteria handout; not governed by § 15A-2-103, which does not itself adopt an ICC/ANSI A117.1 edition.; MBI 1200 and MBI 1205 (manufactured/modular construction standards) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(o); not itemized in Woods Cross's own Building Codes and Design Criteria handout, added here per statute.; All codes above are noted on the city's official handout as 'As adopted by the State of Utah. See Utah Code Title 15A for a complete list of adopted codes and amendments.'; Utah Code § 15A-2-103, version effective 7/1/2026 (superseded 1/1/2027), makes IBC, IPC, IMC, IFGC, IECC, IEBC and residential ISPSC the 2024 editions statewide; the IRC (2021) and NEC (2023) did not change. Woods Cross's own Building Codes and Design Criteria handout has not been updated to match: it still lists 2021 IBC/IMC/IPC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC/ISPSC, a 2015 IRC Chapter 11 residential-energy carve-out, and an incorrect '2020 National Electrical Code'. The statute governs; the City's handout is recorded above as published rather than removed.. Local amendments apply — see the Woods Cross overview page for the full list.

A South Davis Metro Fire approval letter must be submitted with the plans — per the city's official Solar Installation Permits handout, 'The permit will not be accepted and reviewed without it.'
