Whoever installed
the outlet boxes put them at various heights around the garages. I'm
curious if there is a code height that dictates how high off the
floor they should be.


I'd be less concerned about the minimum and more concerned about the
use. If the garage is going to be more of a shop, you want the outlets
to be about 48" so they are above any work benches or tables.


4ft certainly seems more practical all around. Always exceptions of course.
