Connecticut's 2022 State Building Code adopts the 2021 international family — and no wildland-urban interface book. So the wildfire answer under what applies to your house is the national baseline, model codes underneath and programs layered on top.
With 0 sourced local nodes in the state, what we can't tell you yet covers the whole local layer in one honest line.
The plant file carries the real texture: 559 records documented across USDA half-zones 6a through 7b, 155 of them flagged invasive or noxious — a high share worth reading before planting. Living here starts there.
What applies in Connecticut
Connecticut does not adopt a statewide WUI construction book. The 2022 Connecticut State Building Code adopts the 2021 IBC, IEBC, IPC, IMC, IRC, IECC, and ISPSC, the 2020 NEC, and ICC A117.1-2017. IWUIC is not on that list. Confirm with the building official.
State distribution, native range, invasive status, hardiness, and fire evidence answer different questions. None is a planting approval. The list itself is on Grow — this page carries the aggregates.
For Connecticut Firewise committees, fire districts, and HOA architectural
committees. The frame stays current as the evidence does, so it does not
go stale the way a copied PDF does. Free to use with the attribution line
