How permitting works in Iowa

In Iowa, cities have a discretionary role. A city may choose to adopt and enforce building codes to manage its growth, but if a city chooses not to, there is no state mandate requiring building permits for private construction within that city's limits.

State code for state buildings; others are local choice.
