Unincorporated Tooele County, Utah has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendices C and J — governs per Utah Code §15A-2-103(1)(a) (https://le.utah.gov/xcode/Title15A/Chapter2/15A-2-S103.html), in force statewide since 7/1/2026 and binding on counties under §15A-1-204. Tooele County's own Building Permits page still lists the 2021 IBC (no appendices specified) — live-checked 2026-07-16, the county's own page has not been updated to the current statewide edition.; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC), including Appendix AQ — governs per Utah Code §15A-2-103(1)(b)/(c); this edition is UNCHANGED from the prior code cycle. Tooele County's own Building Permits page lists the 2021 IRC — live-checked 2026-07-16, consistent with the current statute on the base edition.; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — governs per Utah Code §15A-2-103(1)(e). Tooele County's own Building Permits page still lists the 2021 IMC — live-checked 2026-07-16, lags the current statewide edition.; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — governs per Utah Code §15A-2-103(1)(d). Tooele County's own Building Permits page still lists the 2021 IPC — live-checked 2026-07-16, lags the current statewide edition.; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — governs per Utah Code §15A-2-103(1)(f). Tooele County's own Building Permits page still lists the 2021 IFGC — live-checked 2026-07-16, lags the current statewide edition.; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) — one code, no residential/commercial split, per Utah Code §15A-2-103(1)(h). Tooele County's own Building Permits page still lists the 2021 IECC — live-checked 2026-07-16, lags the current statewide edition.; 2021 International Fire Code (IFC) — per Tooele County's own Building Permits page, live-checked 2026-07-16 and unchanged. Utah Code §15A-2-103 does NOT adopt the IFC (fire codes are addressed separately under Title 15A, Chapter 5, the State Fire Code Act) — this edition is left as the county's own published figure rather than reconciled to §15A-2-103, since that statute does not govern it. NOTE: Tooele County's own list includes the IFC explicitly (cited directly in its Fire Protection Criteria for Unincorporated Tooele County, referencing IFC 503.1.1 and Appendix D); Tooele City's own sheet does not list a standalone IFC edition. This is a genuine difference between the two jurisdictions' own published code lists, reported as each jurisdiction states it.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — governs per Utah Code §15A-2-103(1)(g); this edition is UNCHANGED from the prior code cycle, and Tooele County's own Building Permits page already correctly lists the 2023 NEC — live-checked 2026-07-16, no lag on this edition.; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — governs statewide per Utah Code §15A-2-103(1)(i).
