Missouri

Program and model No adopted WUI code we can source here. IBHS Wildfire Prepared asks for the inspection measures, and the 2024 IWUIC model says the same floor.

Missouri delegates: RSMo 67.280 lets a community incorporate construction codes by reference, and no statewide wildfire book exists to incorporate. What applies to your house is the model floor and the programs until a community acts — none is sourced yet.

That absence is the finding, and what we can't tell you yet holds it without speculation.

From Ozark ridge to river bottom, 494 plant records are documented across USDA half-zones 5b through 8a, 121 flagged invasive or noxious. Living here maps the spread.

What applies in Missouri

Missouri does not adopt a statewide WUI construction book. RSMo 67.280 lets a community incorporate construction codes by reference. IWUIC is not a statewide book. Confirm with the building official.

No exact code-application record is normalized for this state. A source node alone does not activate requirements.
