New Jersey's construction subcodes were freshly adopted on 17 August 2026 — the 2024 international family, the plumbing standard, and the 2023 electrical code — and a wildfire interface book is still not among them. Even a brand-new shelf leaves wildfire on the common national footing, which what applies to your house sets out.
The Garden State earns its name here: 855 plant records documented — a top-tier file — across USDA half-zones 6b through 8a, with 198 flagged invasive or noxious. Living here is the main event.
What applies in New Jersey
New Jersey does not adopt a statewide WUI construction book. DCA’s current UCC subcodes, adopted 17 August 2026, are IBC 2024, National Standard Plumbing Code 2024, NEC 2023, IECC 2024 / ASHRAE 90.1-2022, IMC 2024, IRC 2024, IFGC 2024, plus rehabilitation, barrier-free, and elevator subcodes. 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.
