The North Carolina State Building Code: Building Code 2024 is a comprehensive set of regulations governing the design and construction of buildings in North Carolina. Adopted by the North Carolina Building Code Council and based on the 2024 International Building Code (IBC), it incorporates state-specific amendments to address local conditions and requirements.

IMPORTANT UPDATE

Per NC.gov:

“Update: November 11, 2025 – As of this date, the conditions of Section 5.12 (b) (see page 2) have not been met. This means that the effective date of the 2024 Building Code will be more than 12 months away. The earliest possible date is January 1, 2027, but that date has not been confirmed.”
