Decision — first matching row wins
| # | When | Permit | Type | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | otherwise | conditional | Unknown — FBC §105.1 default is 'permit required' | We don't have a specific rule for this yet. Under FBC §105.1 the safe assumption is that a permit is required unless a listed exemption applies (§105.2 or HB 803). This goes to the reviewer, who writes the rule — do not quote it as permit-free. |
