Building Codes, such as the International Building Code or International Residential Code are products of the International Code Council. These "model" codes are considered by many, if not most, to be the industry standard.
A state or local jurisdiction adopts these and other codes through the adoption of an "enabling ordinance". Typically, the ordinance is posted for public comment for 90 days, after which it takes effect. The jurisdiction may then enforce the adopted code(s).
