Which NC building code edition is currently adopted for residential construction?

Correct Answer

D) 2022 North Carolina Residential Code

The 2022 North Carolina Residential Code is the currently adopted edition for residential construction in NC.

Answer Options
A
2020 North Carolina Residential Code
B
2024 North Carolina Residential Code
C
2018 North Carolina Residential Code
D
2022 North Carolina Residential Code

Why This Is the Correct Answer

The 2022 North Carolina Residential Code is the currently adopted edition for residential construction in NC, replacing the prior 2018 edition following the standard adoption cycle.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: 2020 North Carolina Residential Code

The '2020 North Carolina Residential Code' is a fabricated version; NC adopted the 2022 edition, not a 2020 edition.

Option B: 2024 North Carolina Residential Code

The 2024 edition has not yet been adopted by North Carolina; NC is currently on the 2022 cycle.

Option C: 2018 North Carolina Residential Code

The 2018 North Carolina Residential Code was the previous edition and has since been superseded by the 2022 edition.

Memory Technique

Think '2022 = Now in NC.' The year 2022 is the most recent NC residential adoption. When in doubt, NC lags one cycle behind the latest IRC.
