La Verkin City Code Title 9, Chapter 1, § 9-1-2 'Building Code Adopted' locally codifies 'the 2021 edition of the international building code' (last amended by Ord. 2024-06, 2-21-2024 — before the 2026 statewide flip), and the full chapter text is readable at codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/laverkinut. The city's own ordinance has not yet been updated to the 2024 edition; the statewide statute governs regardless, as La Verkin is bound as a Utah municipality under § 15A-1-204.; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — current statewide edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b); unchanged by the July 1, 2026 statewide update. La Verkin City Code § 9-1-3 'Residential Code Adopted' also names the 2021 edition (confirmed via direct read 2026-07-16) — city ordinance and statute agree here.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — current statewide edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); unchanged by the July 1, 2026 statewide update. La Verkin City Code § 9-1-4 'Electrical Code Adopted' locally codifies the '2020 version of the national electrical code' (confirmed via direct read 2026-07-16) — a pre-existing lag on the city's own ordinance, predating and unrelated to the July 2026 flip (the statewide NEC cycle had already advanced past 2020 in an earlier update).; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — current statewide edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d), effective July 1, 2026.

Utah Code § 15A-2-103 does not itemize the IFC — the state fire code is a separate provision under Title 15A, Chapter 5, not part of the § 15A-2-103(1) construction-code list, so the IFC edition is unaffected by the § 15A-2-103 July 1, 2026 flip.; International Wildland-Urban Interface Code — La Verkin City Code § 9-1-9 'Wildland-Urban Interface Code Adopted' locally codifies the '2020 edition' (confirmed via direct read 2026-07-16), which differs from the statewide baseline 2006 edition (with Division of Forestry, Fire, and State Lands amendments) available for local adoption under Utah Code § 15A-2-103(2) — a separate statutory provision from Subsection (1) and unaffected by the July 1, 2026 flip to the Subsection (1) codes.; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) — current statewide edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h), effective July 1, 2026. La Verkin City Code § 9-1-10 'Energy Conservation Code Adopted' locally codifies the '2018 version' (confirmed via direct read 2026-07-16) — a substantial pre-existing lag on the city's own ordinance (predating even the prior 2021 statewide IECC cycle), unrelated to the July 2026 flip.; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — current statewide edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i), effective July 1, 2026.
