Sorry about not getting back for so long. Sometimes I forget where I post a message. My question about the four garages was brought about because I believe in the old BOCA codes, if you had 4 or less garages, it was considered a "private" garage. If you had 5 or more garages then it was considered a "public" garage and you went from a 1 or 2 hour fire rating to a 3 hour fire rated wall. Under the new International codes, there is no limit to the garages. ( I don't believe.)
There is a part two to this question and it has to do with Zoning. Some boards require 4 or less garages in a house only I was wondering if there was any connection between the two codes.
