How do building codes work in the Lexington, SC area?
Building codes are established by municipal authorities in theLexington, SC area to set out minimum public-safety standards for building design, construction, quality, use and occupancy, location and maintenance. There are specialized codes for plumbing, electrical and fire, which usually involve separate inspections and inspectors.
All buildings must be issued a building permit and a certificate of occupancy before it can be used. During construction, housing inspectors must make checks at key points.

permits involved before you purchase to avoid future liability for
