## Direct answer and reference scope

Alabama is presented here as a reference within the the listed code collection collection for Alabama. Use the [Alabama Division of Construction Management](https://dcm.alabama.gov/bldg_code.aspx) to confirm the code edition currently adopted for the project, and compare the model text with state amendments, local amendments, effective dates and the permit authority's interpretation. The [ICC code library](https://codes.iccsafe.org/codes) is the model-code publication path. This Harth page is a searchable reference transcription, not an official code publication, legal opinion or confirmation that this edition controls a particular address. Record the project jurisdiction, application date, occupancy, construction type and amendment set before relying on a section. Where this page conflicts with an official publication or the authority having jurisdiction, the official source controls.

_Authored and prepared by Harth. Review scope: official verification path added; code text and current local applicability have not been independently reviewed._
