NOTE (2026-07-16, re-verified live): Eagle Mountain's own Building Department Compliance & Codes page (eaglemountain.gov/government/building/) still lists '2021 International Building Code (IBC)' and has not been updated to reflect the 2026-07-01 statewide transition.; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — Eagle Mountain Building Department, Compliance & Codes page; unaffected by the 7/1/2026 statute revision, continues in force per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b) — Eagle Mountain's page is current on this point; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — governing edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d), effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition.

Eagle Mountain's own Compliance & Codes page was checked live 2026-07-16 and still shows the pre-transition 2021 editions across the board — the statute governs regardless of the city page's lag..
