Building Code Advisory Board 01-14-2025

The Mohave County Building Code Advisory Board held a meeting on January 14, 2025, primarily to review the building division's accomplishments from the previous year and discuss ongoing and upcoming activities. Key procurement-related topics included contract renewals for abatement contractors and third-party plan review services, which were maintained with existing vendors. The board also discussed the implementation of electronic plan review and inspection systems, noting challenges with the current automated inspection request system and plans to introduce new software with integrated inspection scheduling by mid-2025. Additionally, the board reviewed budget-related outcomes such as cost savings from owner compliance in unsafe structure abatements, estimated at $25,000, and the financial impact of liens placed on properties for abatement costs. No new contracts or bids were awarded during this meeting. The next meeting was scheduled for April 29, 2025.
