    Tips

    • Sign permits fall under the Planning & Zoning application category in City Inspect, not the Building Permits category.
    • Planning Commission Review signs carry their own $150.00 flat fee plus a separate $1.50/address Mailing Fee for the required public-notice mailing -- these are two distinct line items, not one combined per-address charge.

    Hurricane, Utah has adopted: 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — REMAINS CURRENT; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b) did NOT change this edition in the 7/1/2026 amendment. Matches Hurricane City's official Building Department page (live-checked 2026-07-16), which still displays the older 'EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2023' banner text but lists the correct, still-current 2021 IRC.; Appendix AQ of the 2021 IRC — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(c); not itemized on Hurricane's own Building Department page (live-checked 2026-07-16), added here per statute.; 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendices C and J — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a), superseding the 2021 IBC. Hurricane's own Building Department page, live-checked 2026-07-16, still displays the 'EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2023' banner listing the 2021 IBC — 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. Note: Resolution 2025-39 Exhibit B already separately used a '2024 IBC Modified' Square Foot Construction Cost table for fee-valuation purposes (see entry below) — that fee-valuation reference now also happens to match the statute-current adopted edition, though it was adopted for valuation purposes only, not as a wholesale code-adoption statement.; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d), effective 7/1/2026; not itemized on Hurricane's own Building Department page (live-checked 2026-07-16, which lists only IRC/IBC/NEC), added here per statute since the city's own materials omit it entirely.; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e), effective 7/1/2026; not itemized on Hurricane's own Building Department page (live-checked 2026-07-16), added here per statute since the city's own materials omit it entirely.; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f), effective 7/1/2026; not itemized on Hurricane's own Building Department page (live-checked 2026-07-16), added here per statute since the city's own materials omit it entirely.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — statewide-mandatory edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); UNCHANGED by the 7/1/2026 amendment (the 2023 NEC baseline predates this code cycle). Hurricane's own Building Department page lists '2020 National Electric Code' under its 'EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2023' banner — one edition behind the statewide-mandatory floor, confirmed still unchanged via live-check 2026-07-16. Per Utah Code § 15A-1-204 (statewide-mandatory construction code), the 2023 NEC governs regardless of the city's own page.; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), single unsplit statewide edition — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h), effective 7/1/2026 (no residential/commercial split under current law); not itemized on Hurricane's own Building Department page (live-checked 2026-07-16), added here per statute. Note: the city's Building Department forms index lists a downloadable 'IRC_IECC Code Compliance (PDF)' form whose specific IECC edition was not independently verified in this pass — not asserted here.; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i), effective 7/1/2026; not itemized on Hurricane's own Building Department page (live-checked 2026-07-16), added here per statute since the city's own materials omit it entirely.; Residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n), effective 7/1/2026; not itemized on Hurricane's own Building Department page (live-checked 2026-07-16), added here per statute since the city's own materials omit it entirely.; Modular Building Institute (MBI) Standards 1200 and 1205 — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(o); not listed on Hurricane's own Building Department page, added here per statute.; NOTE (2026-07-16 re-verification): Utah Code § 15A-2-103, version effective 7/1/2026 (superseded 1/1/2027), took effect 15 days before this re-verification. IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC/residential ISPSC are now 2024 statewide; IRC (2021) and NEC (2023) did NOT change. Hurricane's Building Department page (cityofhurricane.com/161/Building-Department) was live-checked 2026-07-16 via real-browser navigation and confirmed still displaying its 'EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2023' banner listing only 2021 IRC / 2021 IBC / 2020 National Electric Code — it does not itemize IPC, IMC, IFGC, IECC, IEBC, or ISPSC at all, and has not been updated for the 7/1/2026 statewide flip. The statewide statute controls over the city's un-updated page; codes the city omits entirely are added above per statute since they apply statewide regardless of local publication.. Local amendments apply — see the Hurricane overview page for the full list.
