Title An Act amending sections of Subtitle 4, the Building Code, to adopt the latest version of the International Building Codes and to adopt local amendments to the County’s construction regulations Background This legislation adopts the 2006 International Building Codes and provides local amendments to be used for construction in Prince George's County. The Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development requires the adoption of the latest version of the International Codes under COMAR, 05.02.07, Maryland Building Performance Standards. The adoption of the International Building Codes is needed in anticipation of construction permits for several important County projects. The new Codes will assure that construction is performed under the most recent life safety regulations and construction standards. Additionally, the miscellaneous building permit fees are being adjusted according to the annual average increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all urban consumers published by the United States Department of Labor, as they have not been increased since 1983. The Director of the Department of Environmental Resources, starting in Fiscal Year 2009 and every third fiscal year thereafter, will submit an updated schedule of miscellaneous building permit fees to the County Council for adoption by resolution. 9/22/2009: CB-13-2009 (DR-2) was amended on the floor as follows: On page 18, line 22, after "and manufactured homes" add ",installed as manufactured homes after December 31, 2010. CB-13-2009 (DR-3) enacted.
