Are you required to state all the geographic and environmental design criteria on plans

Ground snow load, wind design, seismic zone, etc.?

 

i do plans for builds in five different AHJs, and a new official in one wants that now tabled out on the cover sheet.

For my projects, the structural engineer provides that information on his sheets. I provide project data (area calcs, elevations, zoning), energy compliance data, flood data, and referenced codes on my cover sheet.

It's been my experience that most counties have that info on their websites.

I have different counties saved off to the side and drop in whichever the plan is referencing

Yep it's also required here in California but also almost everything must be engineered here also so all that is on his calc's and drawings.

The parish list IRC & IBC codes plus addendums used on their website.  I include it on drawings for reference to eliminate any confusion.
