Three people have applied to serve on the City of Tacoma’s Board of Building Appeals.

The seven-member panel reviews and provides recommendations to Tacoma City Council on new additions, amendments, and proposed changes to the City of Tacoma’s Building, Mechanical, Plumbing, Fire, Dangerous Building, Minimum Housing, and Energy codes. The board also holds public hearings and makes decisions on appeals of orders, decisions, or determinations made by the Building Official or Fire Chief relative to the application and interpretation of the Building, Mechanical, Plumbing, Fire, and Energy codes. Finally, the panel hears appeals of orders or decisions made by the Hearing Officer for the Dangerous Building or Minimum Housing codes.
