2021 Building Code Implementation

Port Orchard – The State Building Code Council voted on May 24, 2023, to delay the effective date of the 2021 codes for 120 days. The new effective date for all building codes is October 29, 2023. Previously, the effective date was July 1, 2023. The Council also directed SBCC staff to convene two Technical Advisory Groups to consider stakeholder proposals to modify commercial and residential energy codes sections.

Kitsap County Department of Community Development (DCD) will continue to accept applications based on the existing 2018 codes until 11:59 PM on October 28, 2023. A complete application must be submitted, with all necessary documentation to complete the review, to be vested under the 2018 building code.

For more information regarding the delay, please visit the Washington State Building Code Council website at https://www.sbcc.wa.gov.
