Roofing in Taylorsville, Utah

Required

THE 2021 INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE, MANDATORY STATEWIDE UNDER UTAH LAW -- NOT A LOCAL TAYLORSVILLE ADOPTION. Utah Code 15A-2-103(1): "the following construction codes are incorporated by reference ... (a) the 2024 edition of the International Building Code ... (b) the 2021 edition of the International Residential Code." Utah Code 15A-1-204(1)(a): "The State Construction Code is the construction codes ... that the state and each political subdivision of the state shall follow." 15A-1-204(1)(b)(ii)(A) reaches an existing building whose owner is "voluntarily engaged in ... the repair, renovation, remodeling, alteration, enlargement, rehabilitation, conservation, or reconstruction of the building." Taylorsville's own Building Department page and its Title 13 code chapter (codelibrary.amlegal.com) both returned access-denied responses to every scripted fetch this session. The only codified local IRC Chapter 9 amendments the Legislature has authorized anywhere in Utah (Title 15A, Chapter 4, Part 2) apply to Park City and Sandy City only, both wildfire wood-roof or ignition-resistant construction provisions, and neither names Taylorsville. Separately, Utah Code 65A-8-203(9)(a) (enacted by HB 48, effective 2026-01-01) requires every municipality to "adopt and enforce" the 2006 Utah Wildland Urban Interface Code (adopted at 15A-2-103(2)) in any area it designates as wildland-urban interface; nothing self-executes and no statewide registry of adopting jurisdictions exists, so this record does not establish whether Taylorsville has declared a UWUIC zone under Section 301. 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. A Wayback Machine capture of the City's own Building Department page, dated 2026-07-08, names an International Building Code and National Electrical Code suite (2021 I.B.C., 2020 N.E.C.) older than the state's current 2024 I.B.C. and 2023 N.E.C.; that page was not independently reachable live this session, so it is reported here as a dated archival observation only, and this record neither adopts nor rejects it as the City's current statement. The 2021 IRC answer above is unaffected either way, since both the state and the archived page agree on that edition.
