Adoption of the 2021 I-Codes
It is anticipated that the 2021 I-Codes, with state and local modifications, will become effective in July 2025. Beginning in January 2026, all new permit applications must conform to the 2021 I-Codes.
The Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry’s Review and Advisory Council has issued the 2021 ICC Code Adoption Final Report. Please review this report for modifications to the 2021 I-Codes, to be adopted throughout Pennsylvania as part of the Uniform Construction Code.
Stay tuned for notices regarding adopting ordinances, proposed changes, information sessions and updated forms and documents as we prepare for the transition.
The review and adoption of construction codes is a continuous process. The Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry Review and Advisory Council will begin accepting public comment on the 2024 I-Codes in Fall 2025. Look out for updates on the Council’s web page. You can view the 2024 I-Codes on the track development of future code editions through ICC’s website, www.iccsafe.org.
