Questions

Which codes does Sacramento use?

Sacramento is covered by 19 books in Ichi, on the 2025 cycle: CAC, CBC, CEnC, CEBC, CFC, CGBC, and 13 more. The full list is above.

Does Ichi include Sacramento's local amendments?

Yes — 9 local books: Sacramento - Title 10 Vehicles and Traffic; Sacramento - Title 12 Streets, Sidewalks, and Public Places; Sacramento - Title 15 Buildings and Construction; Sacramento - Title 17 Planning and Development Code; Sacramento - Title 18 Additional Development Requirements; Sacramento - Title 1 General Provisions; Sacramento - Title 5 Business Licenses and Regulations; Sacramento - Title 8 Health and Safety; Sacramento - Title 9 Public Peace, Morals and Welfare. Amendments are loaded as first-class books, not footnotes on the model code, so an answer reflects what Sacramento 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.
