Maine Uniform Building and Energy Code (MUBEC)

As of September 2011, municipalities with 4,000 or more residents must enforce the MUBEC if that municipality had a building code in place before August 2008. As of July 1, 2012, the MUBEC must be enforced in a municipality with a population of 4,000 residents or more that had NOT adopted any building code on or before August 2008. If smaller municipalities choose to enforce a building code, they have several options for doing so.
