Maryland's law related to Modular Homes Building Codes is called the Maryland Building Performance Standards (MBPS). It requires each jurisdiction in
Maryland to use the same edition of the same Modular Homes Building Codes that are the International Building Code (IBC) and the International
Residential Code (IRC). The State has modified the IBC and the IRC to coincide with other Maryland laws. The International Code (IBC)
and International Residential Code (IRC) with modifications by the State constitute the Maryland Building Performance Standards (MBPS).
