North Carolina's currently effective books are its 2018 family — building through electrical — with no wildfire interface code among them. On wildfire, the state stands on the layer every unadopted state shares; what applies to your house explains it.
Nothing municipal is sourced on the wildfire construction side; what we can't tell you yet is one sentence long.
The plant file is among the richest anywhere here for native documentation — 81 of its 688 records explicitly document native range, with 171 flagged invasive or noxious, across USDA half-zones 6b through 9a. Living here reads mountains-to-coast.
What applies in North Carolina
North Carolina does not adopt a statewide WUI construction book. OSFM’s currently effective 2018 codes are Administrative, Building, Energy Conservation, Existing Building, Fire, Fuel Gas, Mechanical, Plumbing, Residential, and Electrical. 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.
688 plant records documented in the state.
81 explicitly document North Carolina as native range. 171 carry an invasive or noxious flag applying here. One fire-evidence source names North Carolina in publication scope.
