Building Codes Assistance Project

Effective May 1, 2008, the Virginia Board of Housing and Community Development has updated the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code (USBC) per its three year code change cycle to coincide with the 2006 editions of the International Code Council model codes.

The 2006 Virginia Codes incorporate the customized text of the Virginia administrative and technical amendments within the base text of the ICC model codes. Each code discipline will consist of a single volume, inclusive of the Uniform Statewide Building Code amended language, with no need for separate USBC pamphlets that historically accompanied the ICC model codes for enforcement regulations in Virginia.

For more details, visit the Virginia Board of Housing and Community Development's web pages regarding the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code and general information for the 2006 code change cycle.
