City of Syracuse

Syracuse quotes IRC R105.1 and states permits are required for building work including basement finishes, additions, hot tubs, decks, pools, air conditioners, water heaters, furnaces, and electrical, plumbing, or heating changes.

Note: Syracuse says there are some exemptions in IRC Chapter 1, section R105.2, but the city page does not restate the full list. Confirm exempt work directly with the department before proceeding.

Building code

Syracuse states it has adopted 2021 IBC, IPC, IMC, and IRC, as well as 2023 NEC; user-supplied Utah context notes statewide NEC 2017, so verify current local electrical amendment directly with the city.
