Most cities in Oklahoma the inspectors are requiring four #4 horizontal rebars in the footing, or two #5 stacked. I find that no rebar is required in the 2009 IRC except that foundation with stemwall one 12 inches from top of stemwall and one within 3 or 4 inches of bottom of footing (R403.1.3.1).

No siesmic requirements here. According to 2009 code I don't find where any rebar is required in the footing accept where a stemwall is added.

Is rebar required in footings and am I missing something?
