Q. How is the UDC enforced?
A. The UDC is principally enforced by municipal or county building inspectors who must be state-certified. They
check for code compliance while construction is open for inspection. Municipalities of less that 2,500 population have the
option of whether or not to enforce the code or to have the state provide enforcement. To determine if there is state enforcement,
contact the Division of Safety and Buildings. In any case, state statutes require compliance with the UDC rules by owners and builders, even where
there is no local enforcement.
Q. What happens in municipalities without municipal enforcement?
A. If the municipality decides to have no enforcement of the UDC, then enforcement defaults to the state, which
will delegate enforcement to inspection agencies.
