Plans must comply with the 2018 International Building, Residential, Mechanical, Plumbing, Fire, Fuel Gas, Existing Building, and Swimming Pool/Spa Codes, the 2015 International Energy Conservation Code, and the 2023 National Electrical Code. Separate electrical permits are required, and city setback rules apply.
