How do I find out Building Codes in Lexington KY

Question

I'm adding a deck to my house, and all the advice articles say "check local building codes". So I've googled, and yahooed, and searched on-line, but I can't find the Lexington KY building codes for wooden decks anywhere. Is there any way to find building codes that DOESN'T involve paying a contractor or calling a governement office (which is one of the punishments in the inner circles of h**l, IMO)?

Answer 1

They are not free and they don't kill you for calling them.

Seems like the book was about $60 in MI.

You should find out so you don't build a deck that falls down and hurst someone.

Sine you need a building permit you should just call and ask them.

I'm sure you found this link, but you should call so you stay out of trouble.

Answer 2

Contact local code enforcement.  Also check your deed of restrictions and homeowner association restrictions.  Finally, don't forget your building permit.
