The Lake Havasu City Development Services Department and Fire Department will be proposing the adoption of the 2018 International Building/Fire Codes with local amendments to stay up to date with the Tri-City area and ensure construction is safe and the industry utilizes updated technology. This would replace the previously adopted 2012 International Building Codes with local amendments.

The proposed local amendments under review include changes that are intended to:

Address unique local conditions

• Deal with construction problems based upon City staff’s expertise and experience
• Further streamline the amendments to align more with the published 2018 Building and Fire Codes
• Ensure the Building and Fire Codes are in concert with each other

The public can view and comment on the proposed amendments online at the link below. Comments must be received by:  May 18, 2021.

Written comments can be sent to:
