To guarantee that you’re built “to code,” many home construction projects require permits from the local government. All aspects of a building’s construction must follow the standards established by the relevant authorities for it to be up to code.
If you disregard building regulations, your local government may fine you heavily and order you to undo any work that was done without permission. More importantly, breaking the law can lead to serious injuries to occupants as well as property damage.
How do I get a local building code?
The webpage for the neighborhood zoning board or building department is a fantastic place to start. You may discover a list of the local codes that are in effect as well as instructions on how to abide by them there. A list of building resources and state building codes may be found below.
