There are new building codes within South Lake Tahoe's city limits, so, with the new building season coming up, the City has scheduled a contractor's meeting to cover the changes.

The following are just some of the changes that every contractor, designer and homeowner should know:

• 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.

The details of all procedure and code updates will be discussed by Dave Walker, City of South Lake Tahoe’s Building Official, on Wednesday, March 11th from 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers located at 1901 Airport Rd.
