Wouldn’t it be great if there was one building code, that would apply to all buildings nationwide?
If only life was that simple...
Unfortunately, in the United States the building codes and regulations vary for every city, municipality, and state. So what applies to someone looking to build a home in Topeka, Kansas may not necessarily be required for someone erecting a residential structure in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
This is why it is important to check with your local city, town, or municipal authorities regarding requirements, necessary permits, building codes, and other regulations before you even begin constructing anything. Zoning restrictions are also crucial, so before finalizing a location, make sure you will be allowed to construct your project in your desired area first.
