Appeals to the Commission
Did you know the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC) has authority to administer appeals regarding the application of the California Building Standards Code, in Title 24, California Code of Regulations? An appeal process is established in Health and Safety Code (HSC) Sections 18945 through 18949, with implementing regulations by the CBSC in Title 24, Part 1, Chapter 1, commencing with Section 1-301.
The CBSC may receive an appeal regarding the application of Title 24 by a state agency, or when the ruling is by a local enforcement agency such as a building department and both the adversely affected party and the local enforcement agency appeal jointly to the CBSC for resolution. However, in the latter case, the subject of the appeal must have statewide significance.
The referenced regulations by the CBSC have established that an appeal must be written and include information necessary to administer the appeal. A $450 filing fee is required in order to cover the CBSC’s cost of administering an appeal and rendering a decision. Additional charges may be assessed if the CBSC incurs costs not covered by the initial filing fee. The CBSC is not authorized in law to enforce any decision reached on an appeal. The decision becomes merely advisory.
Read all the details of the cited HSC sections at the California Law website. The referenced CBSC regulations are in Title 24, Part 1.
