The Department of Inspection and Standards has released two new tools to help streamline the permitting process and support compliance with updated building regulations:
-
Energy Compliance Guide – A fillable PDF checklist that helps builders understand and meet new state energy requirements for residential construction under the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC).
-
Residential Permit Checklist – A clear, step-by-step outline of what’s required to submit, approve, and finalize a building permit for new one- and two-family homes.
Both resources are now available on the department’s website and are intended to make the building process more transparent and efficient for applicants.
