State inspectors exist for projects where local code officials do not provide inspection.

Michigan has adopted the 2015 edition of the IBC effective April 20, 2017. In late 2017, LARA held a public hearing on their residential code and determined they would not be moving to adopt the 2018 International Residential Code. LARA works with the State of Michigan Building Code Ad Hoc Committee to advise the legislature on adoption, and there is no information on the next cycle.
