Taylorsville, Utah has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a); CURRENT as of 7/1/2026. Confirmed live on the Taylorsville Building Department page (taylorsvilleut.gov/government/building-department, re-fetched 2026-07-16), which itself now states the current statewide code table verbatim: '2024 I.B.C., 2021 I.R.C., 2024 I.P.C., 2024 I.M.C., 2024 I.F.G.C., 2024 I.E.C.C., 2023 N.E.C.' Supersedes the 2021 IBC, which governed through 6/30/2026.; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b); UNCHANGED by the 7/1/2026 code cycle — confirmed both by the live statute and by Taylorsville's own building page (re-fetched 2026-07-16, listing '2021 I.R.C.').; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d); CURRENT as of 7/1/2026, confirmed live on the Taylorsville Building Department page (re-fetched 2026-07-16). Supersedes the 2021 IPC, which governed through 6/30/2026.; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e); CURRENT as of 7/1/2026, confirmed live on the Taylorsville Building Department page (re-fetched 2026-07-16). Supersedes the 2021 IMC, which governed through 6/30/2026.; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f); CURRENT as of 7/1/2026, confirmed live on the Taylorsville Building Department page (re-fetched 2026-07-16). Supersedes the 2021 IFGC, which governed through 6/30/2026.; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h); CURRENT as of 7/1/2026, confirmed live on the Taylorsville Building Department page (re-fetched 2026-07-16). ONE statewide edition — the statute does not split residential/commercial IECC editions. Supersedes the 2021 IECC, which governed through 6/30/2026.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); UNCHANGED by the 7/1/2026 code cycle statewide. CORRECTION (2026-07-20, supersedes the 2026-07-16 note below): the 07-16 edit claimed Taylorsville's page had been updated to 'correctly' list 2023 N.E.C. and that the prior 2020-NEC lag was resolved — that was wrong. The page genuinely contradicts itself and still does as of this re-check: a summary table near the top states the statewide-adopted codes verbatim ('2024 I.B.C., 2021 I.R.C., 2024 I.P.C., 2024 I.M.C., 2024 I.F.G.C., 2024 I.E.C.C., 2023 N.E.C.'), but the page's own FAQ section separately answers 'What codes and standards does the building department use?' with: 'Currently we are using the 2021 I-codes with 2017 A.N.S.I. 117.1 as the accessibility standard, and the 2020 National Electrical Code.' Confirmed via a 2026-07-08 Wayback snapshot (predating the 07-16 edit) already showing that exact FAQ text, and independently re-confirmed live 2026-07-20 — the page has not changed; the 07-16 edit simply picked one side of an internal contradiction and declared it resolved. Reported here as-is rather than guessing which statement the department actually enforces in practice.; NOTE (2026-07-20, supersedes the 2026-07-16 corpus-staleness note below): the IBC/IRC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC lines above match the page's top summary table verbatim, independently re-confirmed 2026-07-20. But that table is not the whole story — see the NEC line's correction above for the page's separate, contradicting FAQ answer, which claims the department is 'currently using' the 2021 I-codes generally (not just for NEC). Treat every 'current as of 7/1/2026' framing above as citing the summary table specifically, not as a claim that Taylorsville's practice has been independently confirmed to match it. The International Fire Code (IFC) is not adopted anywhere in §15A-2-103 and is not listed on Taylorsville's page either — that part of the original 07-16 note still holds..
