The Virginia Universal Statewide Building Code 2012 was made effective July 14, 2014, therefore the one year adoption grace period is coming to an end this July, 2015.
The Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code (USBC) contains the building regulations that must be complied with when constructing a new building, structure, or an addition to an existing building. They must also be used when maintaining or repairing an existing building or renovating or changing the use of a building or structure.
