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.

Ohio incorporates IBC 2021, chapters 2 through 35 plus appendix H, as its building code — surgical about what is in, silent on wildfire. So what applies to your house runs on the shared national floor.

Nothing local is sourced for wildfire construction, and what we can't tell you yet says so once.

Ohio's garden file is the largest state ledger on the site: 919 plant records documented across USDA half-zones 6a through 7a — 21 with explicit native-range documentation, 205 flagged invasive or noxious. Living here carries the weight of this page.

What applies in Ohio

Ohio does not adopt a statewide WUI construction book. OAC 4101:1-1-01 incorporates IBC 2021 chapters 2 through 35 and appendix H as the Ohio Building Code. IWUIC is not that incorporation. Confirm with the building official.

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

Living here

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.

919 plant records documented in the state. 21 explicitly document Ohio as native range. 205 carry an invasive or noxious flag applying here. One fire-evidence source names Ohio in publication scope.
