Building Code Board of Appeals

(Authoritative)

Established:

The Building Code Board of Appeals was created under the authority of the State Statutes in 1957. When the City began contracting building inspection services with Mesa County, the authority over that board was passed to Mesa County.

Mission/Purpose:

To review appeals to determinations made by the Building Official, to consider exceptions to the building regulations, to make recommendations for amendments to the building codes and to act as the contractor’s licensing board.

Membership/Terms:

There are five members and one alternate that serve three year (staggered) terms. Members must have expertise in matters pertaining to building construction.

The County makes the appointments to this board but since the City contracts with the County for the City’s building inspection services and contractor licensing, the City Council is afforded the right to confirm those appointments.

Members do NOT have to be City residents.

Meetings:

This board meets as needed.
