Which codes and exemptions should I review?
N/A. Bon Homme County enforces its zoning ordinance and building-permit requirements, but the accessible county ordinance does not adopt or identify a general IBC or IRC construction-code edition. Small wind systems must comply with applicable state construction and electrical codes and the National Electrical Code.

Otherwise, the ordinance requires a permit before a building or structure is erected, moved, added to, removed, demolished, burned, or changed in use; no broader cosmetic-work exemption list is published.
