Do you need a permit for stucco repair in Sioux Falls, SD?

It depends

It depends on scope. Like-for-like cosmetic work in Sioux Falls is often exempt, but a permit is required as soon as you change structure, plumbing, electrical or the building envelope.

Sioux Falls sits in Minnehaha County, South Dakota. Heavy snow load and ice-dam risk change roofing, insulation and gutter specifications, and compress the outdoor work season. Work outside city limits is permitted by the county building department rather than the city.
