Which codes and exemptions should I review?
Wyoming County’s local law creates a County Code Enforcement Officer to administer and enforce the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and State Energy Conservation Construction Code throughout the County. The applicable 2025 New York State Uniform Code and 2025 Energy Code became effective December 31, 2025. The County local law follows the standard Uniform Code exemptions, including one-story detached tool or storage sheds, playhouses, or similar accessory structures up to 144 square feet, playground equipment, shallow above-ground pools, non-pool fences, certain retaining walls, temporary stage sets, and wall-supported awnings. Exempt work must still comply with the code and local zoning; contact Building Codes before starting.
