Topics will include: 

· Radon requirements will be mandatory.

· Sprinklers for additions could be required.

· Take into account in updating all plumbing fixtures when you improve anything in your house.

· Smoke detectors older than 10 years will need to be replaced whenever you pull a permit.

· Recycling documentation for all construction waste is required on all projects.

· When are building permits required?

The meeting is March 11 from 5-7pm at Lake Tahoe Airport.
