Read the state coverage carefully

Ohio operates a mandatory, uniform statewide code set administered by the Board of Building Standards (commercial/existing/residential/mechanical/plumbing codes) and the State Fire Marshal (fire code and referenced NFPA installation standards), both with local enforcement but no substantive local variation. Ohio's codes show a hybrid multi-year-reference pattern: different code families (and in one case, different chapters within the same code) are pinned to different I-Code/NFPA edition years rather than a single unified cycle.

Authority: Ohio Board of Building Standards (BOBS), Department of Commerce, Division of Industrial Compliance; Ohio Department of Commerce, Office of the State Fire Marshal.
