North Dakota's legislature mandates a state building code built from the IBC, IRC, IMC, and IFGC, with the 2024 energy and existing-building codes added — and no wildfire interface book. What applies to your house rests on the model floor plus the programs.

The local wildfire layer is unsourced, and what we can't tell you yet says exactly that.

The northern plains write the directory's shortest zone card: USDA half-zones 3b through 4b, 277 plant records documented, 65 flagged invasive or noxious. Living here works within it.

What applies in North Dakota

North Dakota does not adopt a statewide WUI construction book. The Legislative Assembly mandates that the state building code consist of the IBC, IRC, IMC, and IFGC. Community Services also adopted the 2024 IECC and IEBC, effective 1 January 2026. IWUIC is not on that list. Confirm with the building official.
