As you may have heard, our agency received notice this week that the Builders Association of the Twin Cities filed a lawsuit requesting the Minnesota Court of Appeals review portions of the Residential Building Code and the Energy Conservation Code adopted this past year. The Minnesota Court of Appeals would need to issue a court order before there could be any change in the code effective dates. It has not done so. 

 

I want to emphasize that as of today, the following chapters of the Minnesota Building code become effective for administration and enforcement on Jan. 24, 2015:

 

  • 1300 Minnesota Building Code Administration
  • 1303 Minnesota Provisions to the State Building Code (except for radon)
  • 1307 Minnesota Elevator and Related Devices Code
  • 1309 Minnesota Residential Code
  • 1311 Minnesota Conservation Code for Existing Buildings
  • 1341 Minnesota Accessibility Code
  • 1346 Minnesota Mechanical and Fuel Gas Codes

*The Radon provisions contained in chapter 1303 and the Residential Energy Code in 1322 are both scheduled to take effect on Feb. 14.

 

Should anything change, I will notify you as quickly as possible and we will post a notice on our agency's website.

 

The codes going into effect on Jan. 24, 2015, can be viewed in their entirety from our website.
