Building Inspection Department
The Summit County Building Inspection Department is where all building permit processes begin.

Per the International Building Code (IBC) and the International Residential Code (IRC), permits are required for all new structures, alterations to exisitng structures, remodels, decks, hot tubs and window replacements. 

The Building Inspection Department brings in applications and construction documents and routes them through all the appropriate internal review agencies.
The four internal review agencies include Planning, Engineering, Building Inspection, and Environmental Health departments. Planning will verify permitted uses, setbacks, lighting, and building height. Engineering looks at grading, drainage, and erosion control. Building Inspection looks at the construction of the building. Environmental Health reviews septic system design and water rights.
Please refer to individual web pages for additional information.

Codes & Amendments
The Building Inspection Department has adopted the 2006 International Code Council (ICC) code series for all permitted projects. We enforce the 2011 National Electric Code. Additionally, we have amended the codes for local conditions. The amendment package can be found by clicking on codes and amendments.
We have also adopted a sustainable code; information can be found at High Country Conservation Center.
