Pleasant Grove's own Building Division page still lists '2020 National Electrical Code (NEC)' (live re-check 2026-07-16) — a PRE-EXISTING discrepancy that predates and is unrelated to the 2026-07-01 code-cycle flip, of the same kind separately documented for American Fork's Solar checklist and Provo's Building FAQ. Reported here as-published rather than corrected, per grounded-data policy of not inventing a fact the city's own source does not state.; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), one statewide edition (no residential/commercial split) — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h), effective 7/1/2026.

Not mentioned anywhere on Pleasant Grove's Building Division page as of live re-check 2026-07-16; added here as a statute-sourced omission (applies statewide regardless of city publication), not fabricated.; No International Fire Code (IFC) entry: § 15A-2-103 does not adopt the IFC — the IFC is separately governed under Title 15A Chapter 5, outside the scope of this section.
