Lindon, Utah has adopted: 2021 International Residential Code (IRC), as amended by the State of Utah — adopted statewide under Utah Code Title 15A (State Construction and Fire Codes Act), § 15A-2-103. No Lindon-specific code-edition statement was found on lindon.gov's Building & Inspection page, Building Department Forms & Applications page, or in the current Fee Schedule; Lindon has not published a local amendment opting out of the statewide code, so the statutory statewide edition is used here rather than invented city-specific text.; 2024 International Building Code (IBC), as amended by the State of Utah — effective statewide July 1, 2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (2026 General Session update); no Lindon-specific IBC edition statement found on the city's own site.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — adopted statewide under Utah Code § 15A-2-103; no Lindon-specific NEC edition statement found on the city's own site.; 2015 International Plumbing Code (IPC), Table 403.1 — cited by name in Lindon City's own current Fee Schedule (Sewer Utility Fee and Water Utility Fee sections: 'Based on Table 403.1 in 2015 International Plumbing Code as currently adopted or as may be amended'), effective 07/01/2026 fee schedule. This is Lindon's own published reference to a specific plumbing-code edition/table used for utility base-rate sizing, distinct from the statewide construction-code IPC edition.; Other 2024 International Codes (IMC, IEBC, IECC) — adopted statewide alongside the 2024 IBC per Utah Code § 15A-2-103, effective July 1, 2026; not individually itemized by name on Lindon's own Building & Inspection page.. Local amendments apply — see the Lindon overview page for the full list.

No. Lindon's Fee Schedule lists a separate $25.00 'Alarm Permits' line item under its POLICE section, which is a burglar/security-alarm registration tied to false-alarm response fees — not a fire alarm system permit. Fire alarm systems are reviewed and inspected by the Orem City Fire Prevention Division under the 'Fire Sprinkler and/or Fire Alarm Plan Review' line item instead.
