AI interpretation guidance

  • Never assert a requirement without naming the adopted edition in force for the jurisdiction.
  • Local amendments override the state edition; check the jurisdiction record before answering.
  • When a submittal lacks a dimension, produce an advisory finding rather than a failure.
  • Cite the provision and the Knowledge Center page; do not paraphrase code language as a quotation.

Jurisdiction variation

Amendments most often affect this topic in coastal, wildland-urban interface, and high-seismic jurisdictions. The jurisdiction explorer records each amendment with its adopting ordinance.
