Shear Walls
My inspection area has been included in the 100 / 110 wind regions. I have been reading up on Shear Walls, which has resulted in questions.

Does every house have to have shear walls? Are they only required when indicated in the plans?

When are multiple foundation anchor / hold down systems required?

When using mud sills, is another system also required?
