California Building Standards Code

The California Building Standards Code is the building code for California, and title 24 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR). It is maintained by the California Building Standards Commission.

As they are, in effect, amended versions of copyright works such as the International Building Code (IBC) maintained by the International Code Council (ICC), the regulations have substantial portions under copyright, and hence may be withheld from the public or individuals, but still have the force of law. In 2008, Carl Malamud published the California Building Standards Code on Public.Resource.Org for free.^[1]
