The Killeen City Council has voted to adopt the 2009 International Code Council (ICC) Building Codes. The new codes will become effective April 1, 2011, however the 2008 National Electric Code will remain in effect. In addition to the ICC codes Killeen has published their local amendments to the Codes which take precedence over the same material presented in the I-codes. A link to these amendments is here.
