During the Open House, residents can learn about changes in building regulations, including guidelines for:

Residents will be able to ask County staff questions to understand the new requirements. Industry and community members are encouraged to join the County to learn how these updates may affect their projects.

Between Jan. 1, 2025 and March 31, 2025, permit applications may be submitted using the new 2024 Building Code.
