Emergency Escape and Rescue Openings for the United States

Based upon your location in the United States, your state/county may have different requirements when it comes to basement egress and emergency escape codes. We have compiled many resources from States and local governments to give you a great starting point to find which IRC Building codes you should adhere by. Please note, due to the constantly changing nature of the government please verify with your local county building inspector to double check your code requirements before starting a project. We try to keep this database up-to-date as best as possible, but express no warranties on accuracy of information.
