Program and model No adopted WUI code we can source here. IBHS Wildfire Prepared asks for the inspection measures, and the 2024 IWUIC model says the same floor.

South Dakota, as amended by 2026 SB 129, points non-residential construction at the 2024 IBC where a local ordinance exists — a conditional floor, and not a wildfire book. What applies to your house is the model baseline plus the national programs.

No local wildfire construction application is sourced, and what we can't tell you yet leaves it at the facts.

From Black Hills to prairie, the plant file runs 306 documented records across USDA half-zones 4a through 5b, with 62 flagged invasive or noxious. Living here is the practical half.

What applies in South Dakota

South Dakota does not adopt a statewide WUI construction book. SDCL 11-10-5, as amended by 2026 SB 129, requires a local construction ordinance for buildings other than residential structures to comply with the 2024 IBC. 11-10-6 uses 2024 IBC as the design standard where no such ordinance exists, and excludes residential structures. 11-10-12 lets a municipality adopt 2024 IRC for residential structures. IWUIC is not those statutes. Confirm with the building official.

No exact code-application record is normalized for this state. A source node alone does not activate requirements.

Living here

State distribution, native range, invasive status, hardiness, and fire evidence answer different questions. None is a planting approval. The list itself is on Grow — this page carries the aggregates.
