As of 02/21/2025, the Fire Marshal has suspended enforcement of all fire code appendices, (B, C and D) as recognized in the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO).
Projects in Process Before July 1, 2025
Please note that any project with a submittal application date up until June 20, 2025, will be required to design their sites based solely on the body of the 2018 Fire Code, and not the appendices.
There are a couple of exceptions to this rule:
1. If the Code Administrator approves, an architect or engineer can use Alternate Materials and Methods (AMM) under the 2024 NC Building Code for specific components or elements.
2. S382 lists Mecklenburg County among the jurisdictions with permits and approval extensions valid until December 31, 2027.
