North Ogden, Utah has adopted: North Ogden City's official Building Codes page states only that the city 'recognizes the current adopted Utah State Building Code' — it does not itemize individual code titles or edition years on its own page (confirmed on repeated fetches of northogdencity.gov/departments/building/building_codes.php).; Statewide framework per Utah Code § 15A-2-103: as of the code cycle effective July 1, 2026 (confirmed current as of this 2026-07-16 re-verification), the State of Utah has adopted the 2021 International Residential Code (IRC, continuing from the prior cycle, § 15A-2-103(1)(b)), the 2024 International Building Code (IBC, § 15A-2-103(1)(a)), the 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC, continuing from the prior cycle, § 15A-2-103(1)(g)), and other 2024 International Codes (IPC, IMC, IFGC, IEBC, IECC, and the residential provisions of the ISPSC, per § 15A-2-103(1)(d)/(e)/(f)/(i)/(h)/(n)) — the same statewide cycle documented on Highland City's official Building Division page. North Ogden's own site does not confirm city-level adoption of each title by name; this entry cites the statewide framework North Ogden explicitly says it follows ('recognizes the current adopted Utah State Building Code'), without asserting North Ogden has separately re-published each edition/year. This entry was already correctly stated in present tense as of the prior verification and required no substantive correction on this pass.; Design criteria published on North Ogden's official Building Codes page: Seismic Design Category D or E; Basic Wind Speed 115 mph; Exposure Category C; roof snow load calculated via the state-adopted snow load calculator; minimum footing frost depth of 30 inches; weathering condition classified as 'severe.'.
