Quirks & watch-items
Quirks & watch-items
- Olathe and Overland Park (JoCo suburbs) are on 2018 while Wichita jumped to 2024
- Johnson County also has building codes for unincorporated areas
- Kansas is one of the most consistently "home-rule" states for building codes — only the State Fire Prevention Code (KAR 22-1, IFC-based) is mandatory statewide; no statewide IBC/IRC/IECC
