Ordinances 6512, 6513 and 6514 to amend Title 13-Buildings and Construction, by updating the adopted Plumbing Code, Mechanical Code and Electrical Code. 

The three (3) trade codes used for construction within Council Bluffs are determined by the State of Iowa as to what edition and year to be adopted by a jurisdiction. Presently Title 13 of the CBMC is not in alignment with the State of Iowa. By adopting these three (3) trade codes, this will bring Title 13 into compliance with the State of Iowa and assist those seeking to use the correct code and edition. The newer editions are:

2021 Uniform Plumbing Code
2021 International Mechanical Code
2020 National Electrical Code

Staff has taken this opportunity to make the necessary adjustments to older language no longer relevant to the Building Division operation and the relation these trade code have with the other adopted model codes as well as a few other cleanup edits.
