How to read a state page

A state landing is one page for what we can cite in that state. It is not a parcel map, and the coverage chip is not a permit. Live means a sourced statewide construction picture is on the page. Coming-soon means adopted-but-not-effective. None means no statewide WUI construction book is sourced. Not yet reviewed asserts nothing. Plants can be complete in every state while construction is still a gap.

You are on Places looking at Nevada, Utah, or a state with only plant counts, and asking whether “none” means you can skip the eave. It does not. Open the landing. Read the construction sentence. Then ask the building official which adopted code binds the lot.

Why it matters

A missing statewide book is not a missing fire. Embers still land. Locals still adopt overlays. Insurers still read checklists. Reading the coverage label as a lot determination is the mix-up this page exists to stop.

How it works

Each state landing joins four distinct layers: the sourced construction record, documented application scopes and unresolved predicates, requirements published in the cited instrument, and plant evidence. Product and plant URLs stay national. The state page assembles and links those layers without pretending that publication, adoption, and parcel application are the same fact.

Construction status is coverage-honest:

A local place under a none or coming-soon state can still have a sourced local record. That record is typed—code adoption, local code, code administration, fire access, inspection, or fire service—so a source about access is not presented as an adopted construction code. Eagle, Idaho is an overlay inside a none state. See when the overlay map decides the eave.

Wyoming is the same data shape with a different legal record. The statewide code list does not include IWUIC, so the state landing says none. Jackson’s corporate-boundary adoption and Teton County’s unincorporated-land adoption remain live local applications underneath it. The state label and the local records answer different questions.

Florida prevents another reading error. Its Building Code is statewide, and its Fire Prevention Code is a separate NFPA-based book, but the statutory model-code list used to update the Building Code does not include IWUIC. A none WUI label does not mean “no building code”; it means the sourced statewide construction layer does not contain a WUI book.

Texas makes the local-adoption boundary concrete. Section 214.212 supplies a municipal IRC path, not a statewide IWUIC book. Austin’s mapped 2024 WUIC is a separate local application with its own proximity, project, boundary, and date checks. A Texas none label and an Austin local code can both be accurate.

ZIP resolution is a reversible location lens. It supplies a postal match and can surface a sourced place, but it is not a legal-boundary lookup. Construction becomes documented only through an application record; hazard-map, project-type, effective-date, boundary, and official-confirmation predicates remain visible instead of being silently treated as satisfied.

The paths

1. Open /places/. Sourced statuses are listed with live / coming-soon / none. The rest say not yet reviewed.
2. Open the state landing. Read the construction sentence and any official map tool. The map tool is not a parcel read.
3. Open local places if the landing names them. A county book can be stricter than a none state.
4. Ask the building official which ordinance is adopted. Spec that book.
5. Harden anyway if no WUI construction book applies. IBHS is a designation, not adopted code.

What people mix up

• Reading “none” as “no wildfire rules.”
• Specifying Utah 2024 IWUIC in 2026 because the future edition is already written.
• Treating a live Colorado landing as a lot class.
• Treating plant completeness as a construction book.
• Treating not-yet-reviewed as a finding.
• Importing Oregon R327 or California CWUIC onto a none-state drawing.

How to check

1. Open Places. Note the status word next to the name.
2. Open the landing. If the construction sentence names a statute, open that statute.
3. If locals are listed, open the local landing before you spec “the state book.”
4. Confirm with the building official. This site does not read your parcel.

Limits

This page explains the coverage labels. It does not stamp a permit. It does not classify a lot. It does not fill a not-yet-reviewed state with guessed IWUIC. Utah 15A-2-103, NAC 477.283, and the 2025 CWRC are the opened examples; other states follow the same honesty rule when their documents are opened.
