Important Notice Regarding the

2007 California Building Code

If you are an architect, engineer, designer or contractor that performs work within the State of California, please be advised that the City of Irvine adopted the 2007 California Building Standards Code which took effect on January 1, 2008.

All new plan review applications submitted after December 31, 2007 will be required to comply with the new code.
