2023 Building Code Update Overview

www.skagitcounty.net/2023BuildingCode

The State Building Code and Skagit County Building Code standards are updated every three years to ensure use of the latest safety measures and to allow use of current and available construction practices across the industry.  Cities and counties may modify the building codes, except for the technical requirements of the International Residential Code. This proposed ordinance would amend Skagit County Code (SCC) Title 15 to reference the 2021 editions of the International Codes instead of the 2018 editions and proposes amendments to provide clearer direction for owners and applicants.
