Garage separation
2 car detached garage with one side regular garage and other side finished office type room. Does it still require gypsum board on the garage side even though not attached to residence?

Re: Garage separation
I would say if the office meets all the code requirements for being a habitable space, yes.

Re: Garage separation
Thanks Jerry much appreciated. I added it to my report. Safety first. I figured it is probably a AHJ issue.
