Triennial Construction Code Adoption Survey

Authored on
Body

The City of Santa Barbara’s Building & Safety Division is seeking your input with the Triennial Construction Code Adoption process.  Every three years, the State amends and adopts updates to the International Construction Codes. The City in turn adopts the State’s updates and any local amendments by ordinance. These then become the governing construction codes for Santa Barbara. The provisions of the California Construction Code do not limit the authority of a local municipality to establish more restrictive and reasonably necessary differences to the State Construction Code. Local municipalities must file findings for any amendment, addition, or deletion and those must be based on local climatic, topographical, or geological conditions.

From August 24 thru August 31, 2022, the City’s Building & Safety Division will open a brief survey soliciting recommendations.

Take the Survey!

  • September 2, 2022, 5:00 p.m. – Submit supporting code analyses by this date
