Truckee adopts the 2025 California Residential and Fire Codes through TMC Chapter 15.01, which require working smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every floor, plus CO alarms outside each sleeping area.
TMC Sections 15.01.010 and 15.01.020 were amended in 2025 to adopt the 2025 California Residential Code, 2025 California Fire Code, and related model codes (the swimming-pool code is the 2024 edition). These codes require interconnected, hardwired smoke alarms with battery backup in new construction and in additions/alterations exceeding $1,000 (CA Residential Code R314), and carbon monoxide alarms in dwellings with fuel-burning appliances or attached garages (R315). STRs must verify working alarms at every TFPD inspection.
Code violations are enforced by the Truckee Building Division as municipal infractions. STRs found with missing or non-functional alarms cannot pass TFPD inspection and risk STR registration revocation.
