What is a Building Code and how are they used?

Building Codes are oriented toward ensuring that structures are constructed to an appropriate standard and are safe for the uses intended.  Applications for most Building Permits must be accompanied by detailed construction drawings.

In addition to these codes, subdivision of land is regulated under the Subdivision Ordinance, and other codes may apply to particular types of projects, including the Fire Code.
