Permits in Indiana

Getting a Building Permit in Indiana

Indiana building permits are administered at the local level under the Indiana Building Code, which adopts the IRC with state amendments. Requirements vary by county and municipality β€” northern lake counties may have higher structural requirements due to lake-effect snow. Indiana also has a strong tradition of rural and agricultural building, so confirm your specific county's requirements before purchasing.

Every Build Blueprint plan set includes the complete architectural drawing package building departments expect to see: floor plan, foundation plan, roof framing plan, all four exterior elevations, wall sections, structural details, a window and door schedule, and a full materials list.
