Welcome to
Oklahoma Uniform Building Code Commission

The Mission of the Uniform Building Code Commission is to establish the minimum construction codes to protect life and property through the review and establishment of a set of state adopted codes to be utilized in each respective trade throughout the State of Oklahoma to insure the protection of the health, safety and welfare of the public.

The OUBCC relocated on March 2, 2012. We stayed in Sheppard Mall, but relocated to Suite 2F, (SW corner of the mall on the second floor). Our new phone and fax numbers are: 405-521-6501 (phone) and 405-521-6504 (fax).

The OUBCC's seven technical committees have been meeting over this past spring and summer to review eight different commercial codes. Four of the committees have made final presentations to the Commission with their recommendations on changes to be made as we adopt those codes. Committee presentations can be found on the Technical Committee Meeting Page of our website. A public hearing was held on January 17, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. The Commission voted to adopt the final rules for the NEC® 2011, IFGC® 2009, IMC® 2009 and IPC® 2009. Those rules were submitted to the Governor and Legislature for approval on January 24, 2012.
