North Carolina building codes

North Carolina regulates construction through the North Carolina State Building Code, maintained by the Building Code Council. The residential code is adopted from the International Residential Code with North Carolina amendments; the edition below reflects a code adopted into law in the state.

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.
