Unincorporated Sevier County, Utah has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a); the statewide 2024-cycle code update took effect July 1, 2026, superseding the 2021 IBC previously in force.; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b); the IRC remains the 2021 edition, unchanged by the July 1, 2026 statewide update cycle.; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d); effective since July 1, 2026, superseding the 2021 IPC.; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e); effective since July 1, 2026, superseding the 2021 IMC.; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i); effective since July 1, 2026, superseding the 2021 IEBC.; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) with Utah amendments — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h); effective since July 1, 2026, superseding the 2021 IECC. The statute adopts a single IECC edition with no residential/commercial split.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — current statewide electrical code, unchanged in the July 1, 2026 statewide update.; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f), effective since July 1, 2026. Not separately listed on Sevier County's own Building/Planning/Zoning webpages as of the sources checked (2026-07-08 and re-checked 2026-07-16) — added here because the statute adopts it statewide regardless of the county page's omission.; 2024 residential provisions of the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n), effective since July 1, 2026. Not separately listed on Sevier County's own Building/Planning/Zoning webpages as of the sources checked (2026-07-08 and re-checked 2026-07-16) — added here because the statute adopts it statewide regardless of the county page's omission.; Sevier County Code Chapter 150 (Buildings and Construction), §§ 150.01–150.47 — local building-permit administration ordinance; the county's official code-hosting site (codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/seviercountyut) is a fully JavaScript-rendered platform that returns only the section-title table of contents (confirmed section numbers 150.01–150.08, 150.20–150.22, 150.35–150.47) to automated fetch tools, not the underlying section body text, so specific ordinance language beyond section titles/numbers could not be independently rendered. Section 150.20 (Building Permit Required for All Buildings) and its penalty language ('investigation fee...same as the permit fee...double fee') are independently confirmed via the county's own official 'Obtaining a Building Permit' webpage, which quotes this requirement directly.; NOTE (added 2026-07-16): The July 1, 2026 statewide code-edition transition (2024 IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC/ISPSC replacing 2021 editions) took effect 15 days ago per Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (version effective 7/1/2026, superseded 1/1/2027; next version's editions confirmed identical). 2021 IRC and 2023 NEC are unchanged by this transition. Live-checked the Sevier County 'Obtaining a Building Permit' page today — it cites no code edition years at all, so no page-lag discrepancy to flag there. The International Fire Code is NOT adopted by § 15A-2-103 (it lives in Title 15A Chapter 5) and is not referenced elsewhere in this file.. Local amendments apply — see the Unincorporated Sevier County overview page for the full list.

No. Sevier County's official Building/Planning/Zoning webpages list no distinct EV-charger or electric-vehicle-charging permit type. Installing a Level 2 or DC fast charger is treated as standard electrical alteration work under the county's general Building Permit.
