Alabama building codes

Alabama adopts statewide building codes through the Alabama Building Commission. The codes below are the editions adopted into law and enforced for state-regulated construction. Local jurisdictions may adopt later editions or amendments.

Where verbatim source text is shown, it is reproduced from the code as adopted into law by the jurisdiction, sourced from public.resource.org under the government edicts doctrine (see Georgia v. Public.Resource.Org, Inc., 590 U.S. 255 (2020)). This material reflects enacted law and is provided for reference and educational purposes only. It is not legal advice and may not reflect local amendments or the most recently adopted edition. Always verify requirements with the authority having jurisdiction.
