What's New - Building Code Administration
- 2026 Regulation Updates: The Building Codes Administration is in the process of updating three main building codes. This includes the Maryland Building Performance Standards (MBPS), which establish the statewide minimum building codes enforced by local counties and municipalities. It also updates the Industrialized Buildings and Manufactured Homes (IBMH) regulations and the Maryland Performance Code (MPC), which provides requirements for industrialized buildings and state-owned facilities, respectively. These updates will adopt the 2024 editions of the International Building Code (IBC), the International Residential Code (IRC), and the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) through incorporation by reference, with specific amendments. The proposed changes will soon be published in the Maryland Register for public comment. Stay tuned.
