Work that does not need a permit

Every building code has a list of work that does not need a permit. In the model residential code it is section R105.2: small detached accessory structures, low fences, low retaining walls, finish work such as painting and flooring, some prefabricated pools and low decks, with conditions. States and cities edit that list, so check your own city’s version. Exempt work must still meet the code and zoning.
