I am curious about the requirements for Building Officials, Building Inspectors and Code Enforcement Officers in Colorado and Home Rule Jurisdictions.
As far as I can tell there are no specific legal requirements for Building Officials or Code enforcement officers other than that they must be duly appointed by the Commissioners or Town Trustees. As for Inspectors, schools and healthcare facility inspectors must be registered and certified by the State Department of Public Safety, Division of Fire Prevention and Control. Electrical and Plumbing Inspectors must be licensed by the State Department of Regulatory Agencies, Division of Professions and Occupations. Onsite Wastewater System Inspectors must be NAWT Certified as Septic System Inspectors. Am I correct in this?
I am a CBO & CFM with 12 years experience and 17 ICC Certs, but only 15 months experience in Colorado. I am a County Building Official, OWTS Compliance Officer, Code Enforcement Officer, Floodplain Manager and am registered as a Third Party Public School Construction Inspector. I am about to change jobs and move out of State, and my County Commissioners and Administrator want to know what the legal requirements will be for my replacement. Since Colorado does not have a Building Official's Association I am posing this question to my colleagues. I am curious as to what other jurisdictions in Colorado require, specifically for Building Officials? To give you an idea of how little they know, one of the Commissioners asked a Home Inspector if they would be interested and qualified to be a building official. Please comment when you can stop laughing!
