      Building Construction Codes

      Building codes are published to meet the needs of local jurisdictions charged with enforcement of building standards for construction and use and are updated to reflect the latest standards.

      The Planning & Development Department (PDD) is currently reviewing the 2024 International Code, the 2024 Uniform Plumbing Code, and the 2023 National Electrical Code for possible adoption in 2025. 

      Public meetings are currently being held to review Phoenix Building Construction Code Amendments.
