Bill > SB3

This bill, an Act to limit the types of residential improvements for which counties, municipalities, and townships may require a permit, adds a new section to chapter 11-10 of South Dakota law. It states that despite any existing authority for local governments to set building codes or issue permits, they cannot require a permit for the repair or replacement of certain exterior parts of a detached, owner-occupied single-family home, provided the dimensions remain the same for doors and windows. Specifically, this exemption applies to doors, downspouts, fascia, fencing panels or posts, gutters, nonstructural siding, soffits, and windows. However, homeowners must still comply with other applicable building codes or ordinances, and local governments can still require permits for repairs or replacements on designated historical properties.
