The 2024 IECC is a model code—not a local permit rule

WCAG 2.1 makes permit-portal errors and status messages part of access

A permit form is not accessible merely because its fields can receive input. WCAG 2.1 requires detected input errors to be identified and described in text, requires labels or instructions for user input, and addresses how component states and status messages reach assistive technology.
