Upcoming Changes to Building Codes: Your Input Needed!

The Planning & Development Department is currently undertaking a comprehensive review of the 2024 International Codes, the 2024 Uniform Plumbing Code, and the 2023 National Electrical Code, with the aim of potential adoption in 2025. This initiative is essential for ensuring that the City's building standards remain up-to-date and effective in addressing the unique conditions and needs of our community.

To customize these model codes specifically for Phoenix, our dedicated staff committees will propose amendments that reflect local circumstances and priorities. This process is crucial for ensuring that our regulations promote safety, sustainability, and resilience within our built environment.

We Welcome Your Feedback

As part of this review process, we invite our development partners and the public to provide feedback on any proposed code amendments. Your insights and suggestions are vital in shaping the future of the City's building practices. We encourage your active participation in this collaborative effort.

The feedback period will remain open until December 31, 2024. If you are interested in proposing an amendment to any of the aforementioned model codes, please visit our website​ for further information.
