Building a barndominium in Westfield: permits & land
Indiana's statewide residential code is the 2020 Indiana Residential Code (675 IAC 14-4.4), based on the 2018 International Residential Code. Building permits and inspections for houses are issued locally, by the city, town or county, not by the state. So for a parcel in Westfield the questions are who issues the building permit, who issues the zoning permit, and who approves the septic system.
Who issues the permit
City of Westfield Community Development Department — Building Division. Westfield issues building permits, performs inspections and releases Certificates of Occupancy for new homes inside the city.
Zoning and land
City of Westfield Community Development Department. The same department handles planning, zoning and permitting inside the city; outside it, check the Hamilton County jurisdiction map.
Septic and well
Hamilton County Health Department. On-site sewage permits follow a soil scientist's soil profile analysis and a minimum requirements letter.

Floor plans for Westfield builds
- Small Barndominium A small barndominium sized to the minimum house size your county's zoning sets — from 240 square feet in one Indiana district to 1,200 in another — with the state's tiny-house rules available below 400 square feet.
- 3-Bedroom Barndominium A three-bedroom barndominium planned around what Indiana's septic rule counts as a bedroom, so the den does not quietly become bedroom four.

- Modern Barndominium A modern barndominium — dark metal, big glass, low or shed roofs — checked first against the local design standards and covenants that decide whether that look is allowed on your lot.
- Barndominium with a Shop A barndominium with a shop under the same roof, planned around what the county's zoning lets the shop be used for — hobby, storage or a home business.
