What standards does the SMSC have when it comes to zoning, building, or development of its lands?
Over 18 years ago the SMSC General Council adopted the first Tribal Building Code in the country. It was updated in March 2003 to adopt international building standards, including the International Residential Code, International Building Code, mechanical codes, and fire codes. The Minnesota State Building Code was adopted by reference. The Uniform Building Code is used as a reference for existing structures.
