- Building Codes
The Indiana Building Codes are design- and construction-regulation documents, most of which consist of various model code publications that have been amended by the Indiana Fire Prevention and Building Safety Commission. In these cases, only the State’s amendments are available for free download, and they can be found via the Rules of the Indiana Fire Prevention and Building Safety Commission page. The model codes themselves are copyrighted publications, owned by their author organizations, and are not available through the State.
