2015 IBC and Accessory Building - Detached Garage

[AsceHigh70]

Can someone help me understand what the height restriction is on an accessory building / Workshop / Garage if the city states they follow 2015 IBC? It's single story wood frame construction (2x4) with composite shingles. I looked at the code but it takes a PhD to decipher it.

Thanks

I would guess it is not in the IBC, but most likely in their zoning regulations.

IBC U classification, Type 5B, (wood framed) 2 stories, 40' height allowed on the unamended IBC.

Welcome

Do you want to say what city it is??

North or south Texas

You might ask if you are to follow the IRC??

Zoning is most likely going to govern total height, but keep in mind that the plate line of walls is maxed out at 10-feet without engineering.

Building wise see IRC Table 602.3 (5)
