Pleasant Grove's own Building Division page (pgcityutah.gov/departments/community_development/building.php) still displays the pre-7/1/2026 edition list; re-checked live 2026-07-16, page text is byte-identical to the 2026-07-04 fetch. State law governs regardless of the page's lag; each line below states current law first, then the page's as-published (stale) text.; 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendices C and J — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a), effective 7/1/2026.

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.
