Zoning & Permits

Off-Grid & Rural Builds
For rural builds, septic permits are required through your local county health department. Indiana regulates onsite sewage systems through state rule 410 IAC 6-8.3, with permitting and inspection handled at the county level.
Energy Code & Weatherization
Indiana follows the 2018 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) with state amendments for residential construction. Requirements address insulation, HVAC efficiency, and building envelope standards for Midwest climates. Enforcement is handled at the local level.

Tip
If you're unsure about your parcel's status—whether it requires septic approval, falls under specific zoning restrictions, or needs soil testing—contact your local building department or county health department directly. In Indiana, counties like Marion, Hamilton, Lake, and rural counties across the state all enforce different rules. The resources above are a great place to start.
