Council renews Building Code Consulting Services contract and updates permit fee schedule

City of Nevada City Council · May 5, 2026

Summary

The council renewed a contract with Building Code Consulting Services LLC and approved Ordinance No. 2026-6 to revise residential and commercial permitting fees (including increases to OSSF and reinspection fees) to align with the new contract.

Council members voted May 5 to renew the Building Code Consulting Services LLC (BCCS) agreement and to revise the city's residential and commercial permitting fee schedule to align with the new contract.

Representatives of BCCS answered council questions about inspection practices and energy-code requirements. "James Chumley, BCCS clarified the differences between International Residential Code (IRC) and International Building Code (IBC)," the minutes state. Council then approved renewal of the BCCS agreement on a motion by Mayor Pro Tem Amanda Wilson, seconded by Clayton Laughter; the motion passed unanimously.

City Secretary Heather Schell explained that Ordinance No. 2026-6 updated the fee schedule to ensure cost recovery under the new contract, with primary changes including increases to on-site sewage facility (OSSF) fees and reinspection fees. The ordinance was approved on a motion by Amanda Wilson and seconded by Paul Baker; it passed unanimously. Staff will implement the new fees and update permit materials.
