The 2018 International Residential Code (IRC)

Laws in Texas are strict concerning licenses, permits, and the local building code. Which makes it all the more critical you follow them. You won't need a permit for a storage shed of less than 200 square feet not used for business, work, or as a living space in Dallas, San Antonio, Fort Worth, Houston, or Austin.

In Texas, cities like Houston, Austin, and Dallas have adopted versions of the IRC with local amendments. For example, the 2018 International Residential Code is widely used in many Texas municipalities, though the 2021 IRC is being increasingly adopted in certain areas.

The San Antonio Building Code 2021 is based on the International Building Code 2021 (IBC 2021) with amendments and additions.

A good place to start is the website for the local building department or zoning board. There you will find a list of the codes that apply to your area and information on how to comply with them.

Most buildings in Texas need a permit; exceptions include sheds <200 sqft, decks <30 inches, and fences <7 feet. Permit is required for plumbing, electrical work, residential additions, pools, and concrete pouring.

NO PERMIT REQUIRED FOR: Replacement of any switch, receptacle, fuse, fan, light fixture or similar equipment that does not alter mechanical, electrical or plumbing systems. Ordinary, minor nonstructural repair(s) or remodeling such as painting, papering, siding and similar finish work.
