Herriman, Utah has adopted: 2021 International Residential Code (IRC), including amendments to the 2021 Residential Energy Code and Appendix AE & AQ — Herriman City Building Codes and Design Criteria (herriman.gov/building-codes-design-criteria, live-checked 2026-07-16); REMAINS CURRENT, Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b) did NOT change this edition in the 7/1/2026 amendment. CORRECTION (2026-07-16): a prior version of this entry read 'Appendix E & Q' — the city's page actually reads 'Appendix AE & AQ,' which correctly maps to Appendix AQ (§ 15A-2-103(1)(c)) and, subject to § 15A-2-104(1), Appendix AE (§ 15A-2-103(1)(k)); corrected to match the source verbatim.; Residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool & Spa Code (ISPSC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n), superseding the 2021 ISPSC. Herriman's Building Codes and Design Criteria page still lists 'Residential provisions of the 2021 International Swimming Pool & Spa Code (ISPSC)' verbatim — live-checked 2026-07-16, confirming this one item lags. The statute controls.; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), single unsplit statewide edition — CURRENT as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h) (no residential/commercial split under current law). Herriman's own page already lists '2024 Commercial IECC' for the commercial side, but for residential energy it instead cites 'Amendments to the 2021 Residential Energy Code' rather than the unified 2024 IECC — that residential-specific citation is superseded by the single 2024 IECC under current law; preserved as history in the HISTORY entry below.; HISTORY (superseded 7/1/2026, but still shown on Herriman's own page as of live-check 2026-07-16): 'Amendments to the 2021 Residential Energy Code' — Herriman City Building Codes and Design Criteria; no longer has independent authority for residential energy provisions now that Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h) applies a single unsplit 2024 IECC to both residential and commercial construction statewide.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — Herriman City Building Codes and Design Criteria (live-checked 2026-07-16, unchanged); also Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); REMAINS CURRENT, UNCHANGED by the 7/1/2026 amendment; 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendix C & J — Herriman City Building Codes and Design Criteria, live-checked 2026-07-16: the city's own page is ALREADY CURRENT, verbatim listing '2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendix C & J,' matching Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a) effective 7/1/2026. The prior codesAdopted entry (2021 IBC) was the stale one.; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — Herriman City Building Codes and Design Criteria, live-checked 2026-07-16: the city's own page is ALREADY CURRENT, matching Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d). The prior codesAdopted entry (2021 IPC) was the stale one.; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — Herriman City Building Codes and Design Criteria, live-checked 2026-07-16: the city's own page is ALREADY CURRENT, matching Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e). The prior codesAdopted entry (2021 IMC) was the stale one.; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — Herriman City Building Codes and Design Criteria, live-checked 2026-07-16: the city's own page is ALREADY CURRENT, matching Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f). The prior codesAdopted entry (2021 IFGC) was the stale one.; 2024 International Fire Code (IFC) — Herriman City Building Codes and Design Criteria, live-checked 2026-07-16 (the city's own page now reads '2024 International Fire Code (IFC),' up from the 2021 edition in the prior entry). NOTE: the IFC is NOT among the codes adopted by Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (Title 15A Chapter 2, State Construction Code) — Utah's Fire Code is separately adopted under Title 15A Chapter 5, State Fire Code Act; the city's own edition choice is left as published, no statutory edition change applies via § 15A-2-103.; Commercial provisions of the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code — Herriman City Building Codes and Design Criteria, live-checked 2026-07-16 (already updated from the 2021 edition in the prior entry); collapses into the single unsplit 2024 IECC entry above per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h), which no longer distinguishes residential/commercial editions.; 2024 International Existing Building Code (subject to HUD & IRC Appendix E) — Herriman City Building Codes and Design Criteria, live-checked 2026-07-16: the city's own page is ALREADY CURRENT, matching Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i). The prior codesAdopted entry (2021 IEBC) was the stale one.; Modular Building Institute (MBI) Standards 1200 and 1205 — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(o); not listed on Herriman's own Building Codes and Design Criteria page, added here per statute.; ICC/ANSI A117.1-2009 and A117.1-2017 — Herriman City Building Codes and Design Criteria; Applicable Utah State Amendments — Utah Code Title 15A; Utah Code § 15A-2-103, version effective 7/1/2026 (superseded 1/1/2027), makes the IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC and residential ISPSC 2024 statewide; the IRC stays 2021 and the NEC stays 2023. Herriman's Building Codes and Design Criteria page (herriman.gov/building-codes-design-criteria) already shows 2024 for IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IEBC and commercial IECC. Two citations on that page still lag the statute: the ISPSC residential-provisions citation reads 2021 where the statute now says 2024, and the residential-energy citation points to 'Amendments to the 2021 Residential Energy Code' rather than the unified 2024 IECC that now governs both residential and commercial per § 15A-2-103(1)(h). The IRC and NEC editions on the City's page match the statute.. Local amendments apply — see the Herriman overview page for the full list.
