Permit may be required

It depends. Whether screen enclosure or pool cage needs a permit in Unincorporated Pulaski County comes down to the details of your project.

An enclosure attached to the house is a structural addition to the dwelling rather than a freestanding accessory structure. Attached enclosures require a building permit, and the footings and the attachment to the existing structure are normally inspected before they are covered up. Indiana's residential code deletes the IRC's permit, exemption, inspection, and fee sections (R105 and R108 to R114), so whether this job needs a permit is set by the local ordinance of the city, town, or county, not by the model IRC exemption list. Indiana's residential code states that appendix provisions are not enforceable unless specifically adopted, so ask the local office which rules it applies to patio covers and screen rooms. Decks supporting an enclosure are covered by Section R507 as amended by Indiana (675 IAC 14-4.4).
