Conroe requires smoke detectors per the adopted International Residential Code (IRC 2012) and International Fire Code (IFC 2009). Detectors are required in each sleeping room, outside each sleeping area, and on every level.
Under Conroe's adopted building codes (IRC 2012 and IFC 2009 via Chapter 14 and Chapter 30), smoke alarms are required in every sleeping room, outside each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of bedrooms, and on each level of the dwelling including the basement. For new construction, interconnected hardwired smoke alarms with battery backup are required. Carbon monoxide detectors are required in homes with fuel-burning appliances or attached garages per the IRC. The Fire Marshal's office at 936-522-3000 can provide guidance on detector requirements.
Non-compliant smoke detector installations fail building inspections. Landlords must ensure rental properties have functioning detectors.
