Supersedes the 2021 IBC, which governed through 6/30/2026. NOTE (2026-07-16 city-page lag): Spanish Fork's own Design Criteria page (spanishfork.gov/departments/community_development/building/design_criteria.php), live-checked via browser 2026-07-16, still lists 'IBC 2021 Int'l Bldg Code w/UT Amendments' verbatim — the city's page has NOT been updated to reflect the 7/1/2026 statewide flip. The statute controls regardless of the city page's lag.; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b); UNCHANGED by the 7/1/2026 code cycle. Matches Spanish Fork's Design Criteria page (live-checked 2026-07-16: 'IRC 2021 Int'l Residential Code').; Appendix AQ of the 2021 International Residential Code — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(c) (confirmed by direct fetch of the live statute 2026-07-16; not independently listed on Spanish Fork's Design Criteria page).; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d); CURRENT as of 7/1/2026 (confirmed by direct statute fetch 2026-07-16). Supersedes the 2021 IPC, which governed through 6/30/2026. NOTE (2026-07-16 city-page lag): Spanish Fork's Design Criteria page still lists 'IPC 2021 Plumbing' — the statute controls.; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e); CURRENT as of 7/1/2026 (confirmed by direct statute fetch 2026-07-16). Supersedes the 2021 IMC, which governed through 6/30/2026. NOTE (2026-07-16 city-page lag): Spanish Fork's Design Criteria page still lists 'IMC 2021 Mechanical' — the statute controls.; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f); CURRENT as of 7/1/2026 (confirmed by direct statute fetch 2026-07-16). Supersedes the 2021 IFGC, which governed through 6/30/2026. NOTE (2026-07-16 city-page lag): Spanish Fork's Design Criteria page still lists 'IFGC 2021 Fuel Gas Code' — the statute controls.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); UNCHANGED by the 7/1/2026 code cycle. Matches Spanish Fork's Design Criteria page (live-checked 2026-07-16: 'NEC 2023 Commercial Electrical').; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h); CURRENT as of 7/1/2026 (confirmed by direct statute fetch 2026-07-16). ONE statewide edition — no residential/commercial split. Supersedes the 2021 IECC, which governed through 6/30/2026. NOTE (2026-07-16 city-page lag): Spanish Fork's Design Criteria page still lists 'IECC 2021 Energy' — the statute controls.; 2021 International Fire Code (IFC) — local citation only, per Spanish Fork's Design Criteria page (live-checked 2026-07-16: 'IFC 2021 National Fire'). CORRECTION (2026-07-16): a prior version of this file cited Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(c) for this entry — that is WRONG; §15A-2-103 does NOT adopt the IFC at all (its statute text has no IFC subsection; subsection (c) actually adopts Appendix AQ of the 2021 IRC, listed separately above). The IFC edition is left unchanged here since §15A-2-103 provides no statewide IFC edition to supersede it.; ICC/ANSI A117.1-2009 (ADA/Accessibility) — Spanish Fork Design Criteria page (live-checked 2026-07-16, unchanged).; NOTE (2026-07-16 corpus-staleness fix): This file previously stated the 2021 editions of IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC as current with only a forward-looking mention of the 7/1/2026 flip; that effective date has now passed. A live browser fetch of Spanish Fork's Design Criteria page on 2026-07-16 confirms the city itself has NOT updated its page — it still displays 2021 for IBC/IECC/IFC/IMC/IPC/IFGC verbatim (NEC correctly remains 2023). Because Utah is a statewide-mandatory-code state under Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (per Utah Code § 15A-1-204, binding the state and every political subdivision), the statute controls regardless of the city page's lag, so the entries above state the 2024 editions as current for IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC. IRC (2021) and NEC (2023) are correctly unchanged on both the statute and the (otherwise stale) city page.. Local amendments apply — see the Spanish Fork overview page for the full list.
