Water Heater chimney diameter per code 3" or 4"?

Hello, our local plumbers.
I've a question: when replacing a water heater (here in Hackettstown), what is the code for the chimney? Presently it's 3" in diameter, but I was told it's supposed to be 4" per "new" code in order to pass a home inspection.
So, is it 3" or for 4"?
