Which codes and exemptions should I review?
N/A. Clinton's current pre-application states that city and International Building Codes are enforced, but the official pages do not identify the specific 2026 IBC/IRC/NEC editions. Custer County has no county building-code permitting program in unincorporated areas. Custer County's official zoning notice states that no building permits are required in unincorporated areas, except permits for encroachments on county rights-of-way and development permits in special flood-hazard areas. City exemptions depend on Clinton, Weatherford, or another municipality's code.
