Which codes and exemptions should I review?
N/A. Beadle County administers its zoning and building/use-permit ordinance but does not publish a specific adopted IBC or IRC construction-code edition. The county program applies outside the City of Huron and also covers the listed rural municipalities, subject to any additional municipal permit. N/A. The ordinance requires a building/use permit before a building or structure is erected, moved, added to, structurally altered, or used, and before excavation or site-preparation filling, grading, lagooning, or dredging. It does not publish a concise cosmetic-work exemption list.
