Sevier County adopts standard inspection codes in unanimous vote
Summary
The Sevier County Board of Commissioners adopted Resolution 2026-06-XX to adopt various standard codes governing county inspection activities, voting unanimously after a presentation by Mayor Larry Waters and Director Chris Jenkins.
Sevier County commissioners on June 11 adopted a resolution to adopt countywide standard codes for inspection activities.
Mayor Larry Waters and Director Chris Jenkins presented Resolution 2026-06-XX, described in the meeting transcript as "A Resolution to Adopt the Various Standard Codes Relating to Inspection Activities for Sevier County, Tennessee, Pursuant to Tennessee Code Annotated, Sections 5-20-101 Through 5-20-106A." Commissioner Ray (R.) Ogle moved to accept the resolution; Commissioner Brandon Headrick seconded. "The motion passed unanimously," the transcript records.
The resolution implements a set of standard codes the county will use for inspections; the transcript ties the measure to the cited sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated but does not list which model codes (for example, International Building Code or similar) are being adopted or the effective date. The action was taken by roll-call implication: all five listed commissioners were present; the motion recorded no dissent.
Next steps and implementation details (such as the effective date, enforcement schedule, or any administrative changes needed to inspections staffing) were not specified in the public transcript and will be determined by county staff as part of implementation.
