What is the BOCA Code?
A. The Building Officials and Code Administrators International, Inc. (BOCA) Code is one of several nationally recognized model codes that were previously adopted in Michigan. In June 2001, Michigan construction regulations changed, enacting the Michigan Building Code. This code is based on the International Building Code published by the International Code Council, Inc. The Michigan codes are in effect throughout the state without local modification. These codes include standards for plumbing, electrical, mechanical and building systems. Because the 1976 HUD Code supersedes the state codes, these standards are only applicable for the work performed on the site to place homes approved under the federal standards.
