Ogden's own codified Municipal Code 16-2-2, "Codes Adopted" (Ord. 2017-17, 4-18-2017; amd. Ord. 2023-64, 11-14-2023), quoted: "The State Construction Code, as defined in section 15A-1-204, Utah Code Annotated, as amended or superseded, and the State Fire Code ... as amended or superseded, are hereby adopted." It enumerates twelve components including "The International Residential Code (IRC)" (item 8) and "The Utah Wildland Urban Interface Code (UWUI)" (item 10), and closes at item 13 by sweeping in, rather than naming a fixed edition, "all currently applicable editions, amendments or appendices to the above codes promulgated or adopted by the Utah State Legislature, the Utah Fire Prevention Board, and by the Utah Uniform Building Code Commission and the Utah Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing." This is a floating adoption: Ogden tracks whatever edition the Legislature sets from time to time, without a new city ordinance, so the 2021 IRC and 2024 IBC that Utah Code 15A-2-103(1) names, in both its current codified text and the text that takes effect January 1, 2027, apply in Ogden without a Case B doubt. The text of 16-2-2 adds no provision of its own to the state code. Title 16, Chapter 2 lists four sections (16-2-1 Definitions, 16-2-2 Codes Adopted, 16-2-3 Appointment and Removal, 16-2-4 Property Maintenance Code); only the text of 16-2-2 has been read, so this record does not state that the other three sections, or the rest of Title 16, add no local amendment. Separately, and because item 10 already adopts the Utah Wildland Urban Interface Code by name, the 2026 duty in Utah Code 65A-8-203(9)(a) (from 2025 House Bill 48) for every municipality to adopt and enforce that code is satisfied in Ogden. Dated change, read 2026-09-23 in the enrolled bill and in the codified Title 15A Chapter 2: H.B. 41 (2026 General Session, Laws of Utah 2026 Chapter 386) will take effect on January 1, 2027 for Utah Code 15A-2-103, whose Subsection (2) then reads "the Legislature adopts the 2024 edition of the International Wildland-Urban Interface Code, issued by the International Code Council" in place of the 2006 Utah Wildland Urban Interface Code "that may be adopted by a local compliance agency by local ordinance or other similar action as a local amendment". The same act enacts Section 15A-3-1101, which amends that code's Section 302.1 and deletes its Section 602. Section 65A-8-203(9)(c), in its current codified text, provides that where "the state adopts a different wildland urban interface building standard", a county or municipality "has two years from the date the state adopts the different wildland urban interface building standard to adopt the appropriate wildland urban interface building standard." This record does not decide how Subsection (9)(a), which still speaks of an edition of the Utah Wildland Urban Interface Code, reads against the 2027 text, or what the 2024 code requires of a reroof. The 2006 UWUIC's own Section 507 requires a roof covering replaced, or "25 percent or more replaced in a 12-month period," to meet the ignition-resistant construction standard of Section 503, in areas designated wildland-urban interface under that code. Whether Ogden has separately declared and filed a WUI zone map under the code's own Section 301 procedure, the step the code needs before it has anything to apply to, was not established this session.
