• Michigan's building codes listed below apply as mandatory non-amendable codes if adopted by a local jurisdiction (exceptions are noted in the table). Local jurisdictions are required to adopt either the state code or another nationally-recognized model code. If no local code is adopted, the state codes are enforced.
