Rhode Island Building Codes

The following link is to the R.I. Office of the Secretary of State where you will find
R.I. Building Code amendments and Fire Code regulations on file with the Office of
the Secretary of State. Many of the Rhode Island Building Code amendments
incorporate international or national codes by reference. This means you must
refer to BOTH the international or national code (plus supplements, if any) AND the
corresponding Rhode Island amendment.
