International Code Council Certification

Our building permits and inspections staff are 100% certified by the International Code Council (ICC).  The ICC is committed to protecting public health, safety, and welfare by developing model codes and standards used in the design, build and compliance process.  Becoming ICC certified means professionals have demonstrated their code knowledge and skills, as well as their ability to apply those skills on the job.  To learn more you can visit the International Code Council website.
