Springville, Utah has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC) — Springville City Code § 10-1-101 adopts 'the International Building Code and the International Residential Code, as published by the International Code Council and adopted by the State of Utah, including all State statutes, amendments and regulations' as the City Building Code; the statewide edition CURRENT as of 7/1/2026 is the 2024 IBC per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a) (confirmed by direct fetch of the live statute 2026-07-16). The 2021 IBC governed through 6/30/2026. Springville § 10-1-101 last amended by Ordinance 16-2025 (effective 7/15/2025).; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — per Springville City Code § 10-1-101 (defers to state-adopted edition) and confirmed directly on Springville's own Residential Building Permit Checklist (July 2023) and Basement Improvement Permit Checklist (July 2023): 'Building shall be designed to the 2021 IRC (International Residential Code)' [and, for basements, 'and State Amendments']. UNCHANGED by the 7/1/2026 code cycle per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b) — confirmed by direct statute fetch 2026-07-16.; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC), International Mechanical Code (IMC), International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), and International Energy Conservation Code (IECC); 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — CURRENT as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d)/(e)/(f)/(h)/(i) respectively, incorporated by reference via Springville City Code § 10-1-101's adoption of state-amended construction codes (confirmed by direct fetch of the live statute 2026-07-16). The 2021 editions of these five codes governed through 6/30/2026. The IECC is a single statewide edition — the statute contains no residential/commercial split. No Springville-specific edition citation for these individual codes was found beyond the statewide statute and Chapter 10-7 (Building and Construction Standards and Codes) cross-reference. The International Fire Code (IFC) is not adopted anywhere in Utah Code § 15A-2-103 and no Springville-specific IFC citation was found either.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g), the statewide-mandated edition that supersedes any locally-referenced older edition; UNCHANGED by the 7/1/2026 code cycle. NOTE: Springville's own 'Solar Permit Process' document (springvilleutah.gov, dated 2019) states 'System shall be designed to the 2015 IRC and 2017 NEC' — this document remains STALE relative to the current statewide statute; the 2023 NEC and 2021 IRC (both continuing unchanged past 7/1/2026) govern, per Utah Code § 15A-2-103, which supersedes outdated city documents.; NOTE (2026-07-16 corpus-staleness fix): This file previously stated the 2021 editions of IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC as current with only a forward-looking mention of the 7/1/2026 flip; the effective date has now passed and the entries above have been corrected to state the 2024 editions as current, with the superseded 2021 editions preserved as historical context. IRC (2021) and NEC (2023) were NOT changed. No Springville-specific city page (beyond the 2019-dated, already-flagged-stale Solar Permit Process document) independently states individual code editions for IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC, so no additional city-page lag was found to record for those codes.. Local amendments apply — see the Springville overview page for the full list.
