Maryland's Building Performance Standards package the IBC, IRC, and IECC with state modifications — and no wildfire interface book. Which leaves wildfire to the common floor, laid out under what applies to your house.
Nothing county-level is sourced on the wildfire construction side, and what we can't tell you yet holds that line.
Here the garden is the headline: 853 plant records documented, among the deepest state files anywhere on the site, spanning USDA half-zones 6a through 8a with 194 flagged invasive or noxious. Living here carries nearly all of this page's weight.
What applies in Maryland
Maryland does not adopt a statewide WUI construction book. The Maryland Building Performance Standards are the IBC, IRC, and IECC with state modifications. IWUIC is not those standards. 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.
853 plant records documented in the state.
194 carry an invasive or noxious flag applying here. One fire-evidence source names Maryland in publication scope.
For Maryland 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
