An updated Coconino County building code will be considered for adoption by the Board of Supervisors
COCONINO COUNTY — Every six years the Coconino County Community Development Department in partnership with the Building Safety Advisory Board leads the process of adopting new and updated building codes.
It is important to update building codes to address emerging safety risks, improve energy efficiency, incorporate new material and technology and to maintain a high Insurance Services Office rating.
For the 2024 International Code Council cycle of building codes, Community Development worked with stakeholders within the building and development community to identify amendments that both increase structural wildfire resistance as well as provide improved energy conservation.
Through selective local amendments, Coconino County can maintain modern building standards, support housing affordability, and implement practical wildfire-hardening and energy efficient measures appropriate for local conditions.
A public hearing will be held on Tuesday, June 2 at 4 p.m. during the Board of Supervisors meeting at 219 E. Cherry Ave. where the Board will hear public comments, consider the update and take action.
