Construction documents · Mississippi
A Mississippi review starts by verifying the city or county’s code status. Establish the actual adopted standards and review process for the parcel rather than treating all local governments as having identical enforcement arrangements.
Your codes, connected to your drawings
We read the state and local codes and amendments that governments publish online, the way a human reviewer does. Our AI opens it in a web browser, goes to the section or table, and cites it in the finding with a link to the source. The model codes most states adopt, such as the International Building Code, are licensed; we use their text only where a license allows it, and you can upload a copy you’re licensed to use. We reference the section. We never copy or distribute code text.
We detect the codes your drawings cite in the code analysis, cover sheet, and general notes. Add or remove codes, and note the edition, local amendments, and project requirements.
Mark the drawings you want reviewed as Check this file. If you upload a code, such as a standard you’re licensed to use or an unpublished amendment, set it to Code and Use as reference.
Follow the linked drawing and code section, check applicability, and have the responsible professional verify the issue.
State and local references
Examples of codes that can apply in Mississippi. Confirm the adopted edition, effective date, and project scope with the reviewing authority.
Confirm the State Fire Marshal’s scope and any applicable local fire-code arrangements.
Use the editions adopted by the responsible authority; the state fire-review package does not establish every local permit requirement.
Code names link to official agency or publisher resources. Reviewed September 9, 2026. We detect the codes your drawings cite, and you can add or remove codes.
Mississippi reference guide
The Mississippi Insurance Department describes the uniform-building-code legislation and its historical local opt-out provision. Its page gathers county and municipal code-policy information, making local status an essential first check.
Mississippi Insurance Department: uniform building codesUse the Insurance Department’s information to identify questions for the local office, then obtain the actual ordinance, adopted editions, amendments, and submission requirements. A historical opt-out provision does not by itself establish today’s project requirements.

Prepare a useful review
Use this preparation list for Groundbook alongside the official permit checklist. Name the codes that apply.
Record the city or county’s code and enforcement status, the ordinance relied on, and the applicable permit checklist.
Name the selected building and trade codes, and provide agency conditions and the engineer’s site-specific design criteria. Clearly label any uncertain applicability.
Include current civil, architectural, structural, and MEP drawings, schedules, specifications, and reports. Resolve inconsistent scope descriptions before submission.
Identify which files are being checked, which are references, and which revisions are superseded. Include reviewer comments and responses where they explain an unresolved decision.
Use the drawing-register templateFrom documents to decisions
Compare stated design information with the adopted code and local amendments. Verify scope, exceptions, and the source behind each potential issue.
Review code referencesLook for incomplete information and conflicting requirements before submission. Assign each verified finding to the responsible designer.
Prepare for submissionCheck relationships across drawings, schedules, specifications, and reports. Resolve the source conflict and carry the decision into the issued set.
Review the whole packageBefore you start
No. Verify the locality’s current code-policy record and operative ordinance, then confirm the requirements for the project’s actual site and use. The state overview does not replace that local determination.
Supply the current drawing set and schedules, relevant specifications and reports, and the reviewing authority’s checklist. Identify the edition, project scope, and permit stage. We read the state and local amendments that governments publish online. The base model codes, such as the International Building Code, are licensed; we use their text only where a license allows it. You can upload a code you’re licensed to use, or an amendment that isn’t online.
No. Groundbook surfaces potential conflicts and omissions with links to source documents for professional verification. It does not issue permits, certify compliance, provide permit-expediting services, or replace the authority having jurisdiction.
Projects in more than one state
For another project's location, start with its own authority and reference list. Requirements and adopted editions can differ across state lines.
