2018 International Residential Code (IRC), which is promulgated and published by the International Code Council (ICC). The IRC is revised and published in a three-year code cycle. This comprehensive, stand-alone residential building code establishes minimum prescriptive standards and regulations for one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses, including their accessory structures. This code is founded on principles intended to establish provisions consistent with the scope of a residential code that adequately protects public health, safety, and welfare; provisions that do not necessarily increase construction costs; provisions that do not restrict the use of new materials, products, or methods of construction. |

The 2018 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) provides an alternative to an architect, building designer, contractor, or building owner in determining what is necessary for repairs, alterations, and additions to existing buildings. The IEBC encourages the use and reuse of existing buildings, while requiring reasonable upgrades and improvements. These upgrades and improvements, where applicable, are life-safety related and include the upgrading of fire protection systems, partial or complete enclosure of vertical openings, replacement of unsafe interior finishing, adequate means of egress, and improvements of accessibility, structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems. |
