Public hearing set for Aug. 4 on adopting 2021 International Building Codes
Summary
The governing body scheduled a public hearing for Aug. 4, 2025, to consider adoption of the 2021 International Building Codes as mandated by the State of Tennessee; Thomas Mullins is expected to attend to brief the body.
The meeting chair (unnamed) announced the body will hold a public hearing at its Aug. 4, 2025 meeting on adopting the 2021 International Building Codes, and said the change is mandated by the State of Tennessee.
The chair said Thomas Mullins will attend the Aug. 4 meeting to answer questions. A board member asked how often the city must update adopted codes; the chair responded that frequency depends on the state and indicated the city has updated codes at least once since his tenure, with possible prior adoptions around 2014 or 2018. Another member asked whether the jurisdiction still used a “southern building code”; the chair clarified the item concerns the International Building Code.
No ordinance number was attached to the notice in meeting materials; the chair said an ordinance number will be provided at the next meeting. The chair told the body the state requires municipalities to update their building code adoption to the state’s currently adopted code.
The body approved placing the public hearing on the Aug. 4 agenda by voice vote. The transcript does not record further details about local amendments, effective dates if adopted, or any specific code sections under consideration; the chair said Thomas Mullins can answer detailed questions at the public hearing.
