Here in Upstate New York, the depth is part of the building code…
We are fortunate to have a Building Inspector who is willing to provide specifications based on both the Code and his experience.
Try your local Building Inspector.
Good luck! -

what do you mean “if i’m in Pa.” The number one rule in construction is to know what state you’re in. OK? Now I know I’m in Mo. Here,for concrete foundations and footings it is 37 in. But 2 yrs ago I fenced in several acres w/post in concrete. Towards the end I was runninshort on concrete,so some holes were drilled no more than 25 in.deep. those post have sinced been redrilled and dug to the recommended 37 in. They could be pushed over in the spring. A cold winter will pop them up like icecubes if they are shallow. So, once you decide which state you’re in call the state conservation or a county agent. then follow their advice!

My guess is that your frost line is the same as
ours here in MI which is 42″. But I agree that
any building department would know. -

The Seattle Department of Construction and Land Use stipulates 18″ as frost line depth for projects within city limits. Nearby Tukwila, WA uses 12″.

Can you please tell me what the frost line depth is for the New York City area? If you have a specific map, that would be great.
Thanks… -
