Throughout the summer there have been proposals submitted to the State Building Code Council asking to defer the effective date of the 2021 Building Codes including the Fire Code in Washington State.  Most recently on 10/21/2022 the SBCC considered two proposals that would have moved the effective date to November 2023 or December 2023.  However, those proposals were not approved.  The effective date for the 2021 Building Codes including the Fire Code remains 7/1/2023.
