Residential Plan Review
Every residential project needs a plan review before a permit is issued—this step happens first, so contractors should factor it into their project timeline early rather than after submitting for a permit.

Floodplain Permits
Depending on a property's location, floodplain approval may be required before other permits—like building or placement—can be issued, and typically applies to projects such as new construction, additions, decks, grading, or equipment replacement.

International Residential Code (IRC)
The IRC is a model building code that sets minimum construction standards for single-family homes, twinhomes and townhouses. Building Services adopts this code locally and publishes amendments, additions, and clarifications tailored to Sioux Falls, so contractors know exactly what applies here versus the base model code.
