Lehi, Utah has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition. NOTE (verified 2026-07-16): Lehi's own Building and Inspections page still lists 'Current Codes: 2021 I Codes' — the city's page has not been updated to reflect the 2024 editions that took effect statewide on 2026-07-01.; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b); unchanged by the 7/1/2026 code cycle; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); unchanged by the 7/1/2026 code cycle. NOTE (verified 2026-07-16): Lehi's own Building and Inspections page lists '2020 NEC' — this is stale independent of the 7/1/2026 code cycle; the 2023 NEC has governed statewide since its own adoption (predating this fix and not caused by it).; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition; 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC), residential provisions — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition; ICC/ANSI A117.1-2017 (Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities) — Lehi City Building and Inspections page; NOTE (verified 2026-07-16): The 2024 editions of IBC, IPC, IMC, IFGC, IECC, IEBC, and ISPSC took effect 2026-07-01 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103, superseding the 2021 editions that governed through 2026-06-30. The 2021 IRC and 2023 NEC were NOT changed by this cycle. Confirmed directly against the version of § 15A-2-103 effective 7/1/2026 (superseded 1/1/2027) at le.utah.gov. Lehi's own page (lehi-ut.gov/departments/building-and-inspections/) was checked live on 2026-07-16 and still reads 'Current Codes: 2021 I Codes' / '2020 NEC' — it reflects neither the 2024 code cycle nor the separately longer-standing 2023 NEC.. Local amendments apply — see the Lehi overview page for the full list.

Yes, for structures built before approximately 1985. Federal NESHAP regulations require an asbestos inspection before demolition, and Lehi enforces this as part of the permit process.
