Questions

Which codes does San Diego use?

San Diego is covered by 14 books in Ichi, on the 2022 cycle: CAC, CBC, CEnC, CEBC, CFC, CGBC, and 8 more. The full list is above.

Does Ichi include San Diego's local amendments?

Yes — 5 local books: San Diego - Chapter 11 Land Development Procedures; San Diego - Chapter 12 Land Development Reviews; San Diego - Chapter 13 Zones; San Diego - Chapter 14 General Regulations; San Diego - Chapter 9 Building, Housing and Sign Regulations. Amendments are loaded as first-class books, not footnotes on the model code, so an answer reflects what San Diego 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.
