Which codes and exemptions should I review?
Within Marysville and its stated extraterritorial area, the City code adopts the 2006 International Building Code, with local amendments; permit and fee provisions are governed by the Uniform Land Development Code. No current countywide technical-code edition for unincorporated Marshall County was verified. Marysville’s official Unified Land Development Code requires a building permit for construction, structural alteration, certain use changes, and vacant-land use changes, but no permit is required for a valid agricultural purpose. Other listed exemptions include fences and retaining walls; above-grade prefabricated swimming pools accessory to a Group R-3 occupancy with capacity no greater than 5,000 gallons; playhouses with roof area under 50 square feet elevated at least three feet; and renovation or finishing that does not increase gross finished square footage or change use, such as kitchen renovation, basement finishing, or a garage hobby area. Building-permit fees may be waived for fire- or natural-disaster-damaged structures.
