Quirks & watch-items
Quirks & watch-items
- Dual-track IBC: SDCL 11-10 sets 2021 IBC as the default for local jurisdictions (and as the floor when they adopt their own standards); ARSD 61:15:01:01 separately incorporates the 2015 IBC into the State Fire Marshal's fire-safety rules. Same code family, different editions, different statutory authority and scope.
- No statewide IRC — SDCL 11-10 covers only the IBC. Residential dwellings and farmstead structures are not subject to the state IBC default.
- SD law prohibits cities from mandating fire sprinklers in 1-2 family dwellings
- NEC is the only widely-applied statewide commodity code (electrical)
- IECC residential is on the very old 2009 edition (DOE confirmed) — voluntary only; commercial energy code: none statewide
