Local Codes and Permits in Newark
Local codes in New Castle County are spelled out in the county’s footing inspection checklist. Footings sit 32 inches below finished grade, no footing may bear on frozen soil, and exterior concrete and garage slabs must be air-entrained under IRC 402.2.
Inside Newark city limits, permits usually go through the City of Newark instead of the county, and we’ll confirm which office handles your address.
Newark city limits follow the parcel number: a parcel that starts with 18 is permitted by the City of Newark’s Code Enforcement Division at 220 South Main Street, and any other property with a Newark mailing address goes to New Castle County. We check the parcel number before we quote.
The city still builds to the 2018 International Residential Code, while New Castle County works from the 2024 edition. Newark also sits on the Fall Line, where the hard rock of the Piedmont dips under the sediments of the Coastal Plain.

Serving Newark and New Castle County, DE
Newark sits in New Castle County, Delaware, right along the Maryland line and home to the University of Delaware.
Delaware jobs follow Delaware’s own permit rules, which differ from Maryland’s, and we’ll go over what your town or county requires for your property when we quote.
Our service area is set by county, not a mileage radius, because the Chesapeake Bay makes straight-line distance misleading. See every county we cover on our Service Areas page.
