Critical Information for Cities on Third Party Building Official Program
Final reminder for cities - register your intent by December 31
All cities wanting to continue their third party building official program need to register by the end of this year or lose their authority to do so. A simple communication notifying the Oregon Building Codes Division (BCD) of the city’s intent to continue a third-party program will be sufficient. Cities should email their notice of intent to: RulesCoordinator.BCD@oregon.gov.
Review the Materials from the BCD Webinar – This week the BCD held a webinar on the third-party building official program. If you did not get a chance to tune in the presentation, the recording can be viewed here.
Training Video Coming Soon – The BCD is expecting to have a training video available soon for city staff who will be the lead staff responsible for oversite of the third-party building official. This training is required by the BCD and is part of the requirements set forth in the new rules.
