Wisconsin's Uniform Dwelling Code (UDC) under Wis. Stat. § 101.65 sets statewide construction standards for one and two-family dwellings. While zoning height limits remain local, structural standards including height-related requirements are uniform and preempt conflicting municipal building codes.
Wis. Stat. § 101.65 establishes the Uniform Dwelling Code administered by the Department of Safety and Professional Services. The UDC governs construction standards, including structural height-related requirements like wall bracing, snow load, and stair dimensions. Municipalities cannot adopt building code provisions stricter or more lenient than the UDC for one and two-family homes. Zoning-based height limits (e.g., 35 feet maximum) remain a local zoning matter under Wis. Stat. § 62.23, but structural building code requirements are statewide.
Code violations under SPS 320-325 may require corrective work before occupancy permits issue. Local building inspectors enforce, and DSPS oversees consistent application.
