PE Stamping in Indiana: what governs your project

Engineering in Indiana is regulated by the State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers, operating under the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency. Firms offering engineering services to the public must hold a certificate of authorization. Engineers licensed in other states may apply for licensure by comity.

Permitting & plan check

The Indiana Department of Homeland Security reviews building plans for Class 1 structures at the state level, which covers most commercial and multi-family construction. Local building departments issue permits and perform inspections under the Indiana Building Code. Filing with the state plan review office early is standard practice on commercial projects.
