New California building and fire codes for 2022

California fire code Title 24 is composed of twelve parts and covers the regulations for all occupancies throughout the state of California. The health and safety codes give us the authority to adopt and also amend Title 24 through local ordinances. Amendments are made to address geological, topographical, and climatic conditions within Fullerton. They are required to be more stringent than the code, not less stringent.

These amendments occur every three years. This year's changes will go into effect on January 1. 2023.

What changes were made this year, and the amended codes will be?

• The California building code
• California residential code
• California fire code
