All new applications for UCC-regulated work filed on or after January 1st are required to comply with the provisions of the adopted 2021 International Code Council Codes.

Keep in mind that if a contract for design or construction was lawfully executed by December 31, 2025, and if the applicant provides a copy of that contract with a permit application on or before June 30, 2026, their application and plans are to be reviewed under the provisions of the 2018 codes.
