All,
The City of Henderson sent out a notification yesterday afternoon reminding industry that the 2021 IBC and IFC Construction Codes would go into effect March 23, 2023. As you may recall, we have known for over a year that the City of Las Vegas and Henderson would be adopting the 2021 IBC and IFC and appreciate both of their willingness to have consistent policy, grandfather existing plans, and for a six-month grace period.

In discussions with the COH, they sent out a reminder email because a number of masonry, rockery, and pool contractors were not aware the code was adopted. The City of Henderson will be issuing a few months additional grace period for already-submitted plans not in compliance yet, and SNHBA has reached out to the CLV to see what they plan on doing. Additionally, we have reached out to one of our fabulous contractor members to understand the differences in the 2018 and 2021 IBC code for walls. Once that information is available, we will continue to update you.
Please stay tuned until next week for more information.
