Inspection Fund Advisory Board · 2026-05-05 · agenda_item

This item concerns a new state law that allows property owners and their contractors to use private providers for building code plans review and inspection services. This change impacts how construction projects are managed and inspected. The law defines terms like "single-trade inspection" and "site work," which includes grading and landscaping. It also outlines procedures for private providers to register, submit plans, conduct inspections, and provide certificates of compliance. The law is currently under review as it is being implemented. This new framework will create opportunities for licensed private inspectors and firms to offer their services directly to property owners and contractors. Businesses specializing in various inspection trades, such as electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and structural, as well as those involved in site work and general contracting, can anticipate new business as owners and contractors utilize these private services. Engaging early with developers and contractors can provide a competitive advantage before specific project plans and permits are finalized.
