Questions

Which codes does Palo Alto use?

Palo Alto is covered by 15 books in Ichi, on the 2022 cycle: CAC, CBC, CEnC, CEBC, CFC, CGBC, and 9 more. The full list is above.

Does Ichi include Palo Alto's local amendments?

Yes — 6 local books: Palo Alto - Title 15 Fire Prevention; Palo Alto - Title 16 Building Regulations; Palo Alto - Title 17 Hazardous Materials Storage; Palo Alto - Title 18 Zoning; Palo Alto - Title 1 General Provisions; Palo Alto - Title 9 Public Peace, Morals and Safety. Amendments are loaded as first-class books, not footnotes on the model code, so an answer reflects what Palo Alto actually enforces.

How current is this code group?

Code groups are maintained in the Ichi platform and this page reflects that library directly. New books, editions and amendments are added on an ongoing basis, and jurisdictions can be added on request.

Can I read the full code text here?

This page lists coverage — which books, which edition, which amendments. The code text itself lives inside Ichi, where it's delivered under our licensing agreements with the ICC and other publishers, and where every answer links to the exact section it came from.
