A nonprofit that develops model building codes, including residential and building codes that local officials adopt.
The International Code Council, known as ICC, describes itself as a nonprofit that develops model codes and standards used in design, building and compliance. Its residential and building codes are widely used, and local officials decide which editions apply. A garage floor coating rarely needs a permit at a home, but commercial spaces, slopes to drains, exit routes and slip-related safety can all touch code questions. Nashville business owners may hear the name when an inspector or a designer asks about requirements.
We are an independent garage floor company and are not part of ICC. We use its public information as a reference and send you to the official site to read it yourself. Local officials decide which codes and editions apply to your property, and we are glad to explain what a code section covers and which questions to ask your local office.
