PA Uniform Construction Code (UCC) Enforcement Update on the Changes to the PA UCC -Enforcement Date Pushed Back

Please read this important update regarding the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code (UCC) and the adoption of the 2021 International Code Council (ICC) Model Codes. The PA Department of Labor and Industry has not completed the regulatory process required to enforce the 2021 ICC codes. As a result, the previously anticipated enforcement date of July 13, 2025, is no longer valid.  PBA will immediately notify members when we have a new enforcement date.***Based on the required steps still necessary and in combination with publicized meeting dates and statutory timelines, the Department and municipal officials will not be able to enforce the 2021 changes to the UCC until these legal requirements are met.

What this means:

  • Based on the required actions still necessary, the Department will not be able to enforce the 2021 UCC updates.

  • The official enforceable date will be announced once the Department submits the regulatory language to the appropriate state agencies for review and approval.
