Which codes and exemptions should I review?
N/A; the official zoning regulations govern county land use and the permit form requires compliance with applicable regulations, but no technical 2026 building-code edition is identified.

The FAQ otherwise states that permits are required for all new construction and structures greater than 100 square feet. City of Geneva is outside county zoning jurisdiction.
