Kansas does not have a statewide building code; instead, local jurisdictions are responsible
for adopting and enforcing building codes, including any amendments. This results in variations
across different municipalities and counties.

While the state has adopted the 2008 National Electrical Code (NEC) for state-owned
buildings, there is no statewide adoption of the NEC for general construction. Local
jurisdictions may enforce different versions of the NEC, with the 2017 NEC being the most
widely used.

confirm the specific codes and amendments applicable to a project. The following code are the
most widely adopted.
