Overview

Utah enforces statewide building codes, but local jurisdictions have the authority to adopt stricter or more recent versions of the code at their discretion. The Utah State Legislature oversees statewide code adoption, ensuring a minimum standard for construction. However, individual municipalities may adopt stricter regulations. It is recommended to contact local code enforcement officials to confirm additional codes and local amendments

Hybrid Adoption

A hybrid adoption system means codes can vary at state and local level. Many times the state establishes a base code for building regulations and local jurisdictions then have the authority to amend or adopt more stringent requirements. This allows flexibility for cities and counties to tailor codes to their specific needs while maintaining a foundational standard set at the state level.
