Vernal, Utah has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendices C and J — current statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a), superseding the 2021 edition. Vernal's own Building Division page does not list specific code edition years, describing only 'the Building Code' generically (electrical, plumbing, mechanical systems; energy conservation; fire safety; accessibility; structural requirements; wind resistance). No Vernal-specific ordinance publicly enumerating edition years is published — this entry follows the statewide baseline rather than asserting an unverified city-specific adoption date.; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — REMAINS CURRENT; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b) did not change this edition in the 7/1/2026 statewide transition. Vernal's Residential Building Permits page confirms 'The International Residential Code is used for the minimum design standards for construction' without specifying an edition year.; Appendix AQ of the 2021 IRC — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(c); not itemized on Vernal's own Building Division pages, added here per statute.; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d), superseding the 2021 edition.; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e); supersedes the 2021 edition.; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f); not itemized on Vernal's own Building Division pages, added here per statute since the City's own materials omit it.; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), single unsplit statewide edition, with Utah amendments — current statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h); supersedes the 2021 edition.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — REMAINS CURRENT; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g) did not change this edition in the 7/1/2026 statewide transition (also consistent with Utah State Fire Marshal adoption).; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i); not itemized on Vernal's own Building Division pages, added here per statute since the City's own materials omit it.; Residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n); not itemized on Vernal's own Building Division pages, added here per statute since the City's own materials omit it.; NOTE: Under Utah Code § 15A-2-103, version effective 7/1/2026 (superseded 1/1/2027), IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC/residential ISPSC are 2024 statewide; IRC (2021) and NEC (2023) did NOT change.
