The Yavapai County Board of Supervisors is considering whether it should adopt the 2012 International Building Code, and if so, how it can minimize the burden on developers or home remodelers while maintaining safety standards.
There’s a new Building Code issued every three years, but governments typically don’t adopt the rules-which are contained in a 2-inch-thick book-every time they’re issued. Yavapai County most recently adopted the 2006 version.
In Wednesday’s joint meeting between the board and the Planning and Zoning Commission, they discussed the options available.
Most of the county’s towns and cities are planning to go to the 2012 code sometime in 2013, said Jack Judd, county building official.
