Working notes
The Commission's rules page lists 675 IAC 16-1.4 as Currently in Effect. One- and two-family dwellings also sit under the 2020 Indiana Residential Code (675 IAC 14-4.4, based on the 2018 IRC, effective 12/26/2019) per the same official rules table. Permit/inspection rules are administered locally; no official state source stating them was opened in this pass, so that field is left blank.
Reference only. Compiled from the cited official sources as of the date shown; adoptions and rules change. Confirm with the authority having jurisdiction before designing or permitting work.
