All,

Last week, SNHBA circulated an industry notice received by CCBD that raised a number of questions from a number of members based on previous notices also distributed on compliance with the 2021 IECC.

• Please see the original notice on standard plans here. Consider this notice unchanged and the "cut-off" date for your projects.
• Please see the aforementioned notice on permit application submittals here.

CCBD has provided additional information and context below. As such, our "one-pager" "Clark County Timeline" (originally distributed 8/23/23) has been updated. Click here for the updated Timeline, as of 8/30/23.

Please accept this email as clarification on how CCBD will treat IECC compliance for new permit applications that are based upon approved residential standard plans. These clarifications are supplemental to the Notice to Industry dated 8/23/23 on the subject of 2021 IECC compliance for permits in CCBD jurisdiction.

1. Residential standard plans (and standard plan re-sites) that are currently approved under the 2018 IBC and 2018 IECC may be used to pull new building permits until such time that CCBD adopts the 2024 IBC and 2024 IECC (and associated family of building codes). When the 2024 family of codes are adopted, a sunset date will be established for all 2018 IBC standard plans and after that date compliance to the 2024 codes will be required for new building permits.
2. Residential standard plans (and standard plan re-sites) that are submitted for review prior to October 16, 2023, and are subsequently approved, may be used to pull new building permits until such time that CCBD adopts the 2024 IBC and 2024 IECC (and associated family of building codes). Incomplete applications or applications that do not make prompt, continued progress towards correction of issues and comments may not be accepted as meeting the deadline, at the discretion of the Building Official. When the 2024 family of codes are adopted, a sunset date will be established for all 2018 IBC standard plans and after that date compliance to the 2024 codes will be required for new building permits.
3. Residential standard plans (and standard plan re-sites) that are submitted for review starting on October 16, 2023, will be required to comply with the 2021 IECC and the currently adopted 2018 IBC family of building codes.
