OSFM Building Codes and Interpretations Section is hard at work finalizing the 2024 North Carolina State Building Code. The comprehensive suite of 10 codes is expected to become effective on July 1, 2025, marking a significant update to the state’s construction and safety regulations.
The current suite of 11 codes, which make up the 2018 North Carolina State Building Code, will remain in effect through June 30, 2025. This overlap ensures a smooth transition for industry professionals, designers, and contractors as they prepare to adopt the updated codes.
Both online and print versions of the 2024 North Carolina State Building Code are anticipated to be publicly available during the first quarter of 2025. These resources will provide essential guidance for building and safety compliance across the state.
