Question: For those who contract in Virginia:In case you didn't know this is from the Fairfax County website concerning Virginia's adoption of the 2009 Uniform Statewide Building Code, which includes the 2008 NEC:"From March 1, 2011 until February 29, 2012, permit applicants may choose to use the technical provisions of the 2006 or 2009 USBC. Mixing provisions between the two editions of the code is prohibited. Beginning March 1, 2012, all applications and plans must meet the 2009 USBC requirements."Link here: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/dpwes/publications/lti/2009_usbc.htmSo we have a year before the 2008 NEC is required and enforced, although this may depend on whether the building permit is pulled using the 2006 or 2009 VUSBC.Steve
This information is only relevant to Fairfax County, Virginia. Other counties and municipalities in Virginia may have different adoption dates for the 2009 Uniform Statewide Building Code. It is always best to check with the local building department for the most up-to-date information. Flag for review
