2021 Virginia Codes
The 2021 edition of the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code (USBC) went into effect on January 18, 2024. During the first year immediately following the effective date, a permit applicant can choose to apply under the 2018 USBC or the 2021 USBC. After the one-year period January 18, 2025, all permits must be issued under the 2021 USBC. With 2025 fast approaching, all applicants for permit should keep in mind that only the 2021 USBC will be accepted after January 18, 2025.
