Iowa Code section 103A.14 creates the Building Code
Advisory Council. The Council is a seven member body appointed by the
Governor. Members are appointed to staggered four year terms.
The Council is charged with several responsibilities,
including:
- Approve or disapprove amendments to the State Building
Code which have been tentatively adopted by the Building Code Commissioner.
- Approve or disapprove applications for alternate
materials or methods of construction, which have been tentatively approved
by the Building Code Commissioner.
- Advise and confer with the Building Code Commissioner
in matters relating the the State Building Code.
- Hold public hearings and perform other functions
at the request of the Building Code Commissioner.
A second group, the Board of Review, consists of three
members of the Council appointed by the Building Code Commissioner. The
Board of Review hears appeals from decisions of any state agency, including
the Building Code Commissioner, or local building departments, when those
decisions are made pursuant to the State Building Code.
