DCA TOURS FUTURE HOME OF THE FALCONS

DCA ATTENDS ACCG

Commissioner Knowles joined Ted Miltiades and his staff from the Office of Construction Codes on an extensive tour of Mercedes-Benz Stadium in February. The tour was led by Jim Scerenscko, the lead electrical quality control manager for the project. Mr. Scerenscko is also a member of the State Codes Advisory Committee and the 2017 National Electrical Code Task Force. His expertise has been an asset to the stadium construction as well as the State of Georgia in its adoption of construction codes. The group was able to view the impressive size and scale of stadium's mechanical and plumbing systems as well as its complex electrical design. The tour highlighted the importance of DCA's process of adopting the latest editions of construction codes to address many of the advances in construction methods and technology.

Construction Codes Director Ted Miltiades, Secretary of State Brian Kemp, and Community Development Division Director Saralyn Stafford attended and participated in the Association County Commissioners of Georgia's conference in Savannah in April.

2015 INTERNATIONAL ENERGY CONSERVATION CODE (IECC) TASK FORCE

On December 10, 2016, the 2015 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) Task Force had their first meeting in their review of the 2015 IECC and any proposed amendments, in order to replace the 2009 IECC as the State Minimum Standard Energy Code. The task force is made of 17 members representing pertinent organizations in the construction industry.

Q & A

Q. Are the Prescriptive Deck Details for residential
deck construction mandatory?

The state of Georgia is planning to adopt six new construction codes including the 2018 International Building Code, the 2018 International Residential Code, the 2018 International Plumbing Code, the 2018 International Mechanical Code, the 2018 Fuel Gas Code, and the 2018 International Fire Code. All of these codes will have a tentative scheduled effective date of January 1, 2020.

A. No, the Prescriptive Deck Details are optional.
The builder or code user may choose to use either the Prescriptive Deck Details or they may follow the 2012 IRC code requirements for deck construction. Local jurisdictions cannot mandate use of the Prescriptive Deck Details in lieu of using the 2012 IRC for deck construction.

IB ANGLE

INDUSTRIALIZED BUILDINGS ADVISORY COMMITTEE (IBAC) TO CONSIDER INCLUDING FACTORY BUILT RESIDENTIAL STORAGE SHEDS, SHIPPING CONTAINERS AND TINY HOUSES IN GEORGIA'S IB PROGRAM
The next meeting of the Industrialized Buildings Advisory Committee (IBAC) will be on August 8, 2017 at the Department of Community Affairs (DCA). The topics of discussion will be: should residential storage sheds, shipping containers and tiny houses be included in Georgia's Industrialized Buildings (IB) program?
Residential Storage Sheds. Residential storage shed and utility building manufacturers are not currently regulated by the State of Georgia, but they are regulated by Florida and other states. The IBAC is considering residential sheds to be allowed in GA's IB Program. Residential sheds are classified as accessory structures (e.g. lawn and garden and tool sheds, detached garages and carports) and they must comply with the state residential codes. They are not designed or intended to be used for human habitation. The committee will hear proposed draft rule changes that will allow residential sheds to be voluntarily included in the current GA IB Program.

Regulating residential sheds will ensure safe and quality built structures and assist local jurisdictions with code enforcement issues, such as construction permits and inspections. Pre-fabricated ready-to-assemble sheds and doit-yourself knock-down shed kits intended for assembly onsite by others will be excluded. Participation by shed manufacturers in GA's program is strictly voluntary only and will not be mandatory.
Shipping Containers. The IBAC will discuss the issue of including new and used shipping containers in the GA IB Program. Shipping containers do not fall under the current scope of GA's IB program and rules. However, containers are now allowed in several industrialized buildings programs in other states, i.e. Arizona, California, Texas and Florida. The committee will consider if shipping containers should be allowed for habitable commercial and residential uses, non-occupied commercial uses only and for limited use only as construction site office buildings.

There are several issues which need to be resolved regarding the approval and recertification of used shipping containers, specifically, which third party inspection protocols and industry standards should be utilized. The Modular Building Institute (MBI) formed an industry study committee to review shipping containers and inspection protocols and they will provide an updated report at the next IBAC meeting. In addition, shipping containers are rapidly replacing the typical type of factory built buildings which are traditionally manufactured, sold, and rented as construction site office and storage buildings. Thus, the committee will also consider revising the IB rules to allow containers to be used for this specific purpose.
Tiny Houses. The IBAC committee previously determined that there is nothing in the current IB program rules which would prohibit tiny houses from being factory-built on platform framing (not on a metal chassis) by approved IB manufacturers for installation on permanent foundations. However, they must comply with the current State Minimum Standard Residential Code (2012 International Residential Code) and be third party inspected in the manufacturing plant in accordance with the current IB Program Rules. Note: Tiny Houses on Wheels (THOWs) are not covered under the scope of the 2012 International Residential Code (IRC). Since they are built on a metal chassis (portable trailers with wheels), they cannot be approved as Residential Industrialized Buildings by definition in the current state law of Georgia.
The IBAC recommended a proposed state code change be forwarded to the State Codes Advisory Committee (SCAC) for consideration which reduces the minimum area required for habitable rooms from 120 to 70 square feet. Another proposed change would add a new Appendix to the IRC code which addresses the main code barriers to tiny houses. If approved, these changes will help tiny houses installed on permanent foundations comply with the current IRC Code. Hopefully, including Tiny Houses in GA's IB program will stimulate economic development by reopening idle manufacturing plants in South Georgia which were shut down due to the recession. The next IBAC meeting will be held on August 8, 2017 at 10:00 AM in Board Room 302 of the Georgia Department of Community Affairs located at 60 Executive Park South, NE, Atlanta, Georgia 30329. This meeting is open to the public. Representatives of the residential shed manufacturers, shipping container and tiny home construction industries, third party agencies and interested parties are invited to attend. For questions, please contact the IB Program Office at 404-679-3118 or by email at dca-ib@dca.ga.gov

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
House Resolution 758 By: Representatives Clark of the 98th, Pruett of the 149th, Powell of the 32nd, Jackson of the 128th, and Barr of the 103rd (MAY BE REINTRODUCED IN 2018 SESSION)
A RESOLUTION
1 Creating the House Study Committee on Local Building Permits; and for other purposes. 2 WHEREAS, the state-wide construction building code requires homebuilders, general 3 contractors, and conditioned air, plumbing, electrical, and low voltage contractors to obtain 4 local building permits; and 5 WHEREAS, Chapter 14 of Title 43 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated provides for 6 licensing of electrical, plumbing, conditioned air, low-voltage, and utility contractors and 7 Chapter 41 of Title 43 provides for licensing of residential and general contractors; and 8 WHEREAS, obtaining permits, permit costs, and the scheduling of inspections associated 9 with construction permits is an industry-wide problem for all building trades and for local 10 jurisdictions; and 11 WHEREAS, while professional contractors abide by the law and obtain building permits, 12 many unlicensed contractors never obtain such permits; and 13 WHEREAS, it is recognized throughout the construction industry that if local jurisdictions 14 streamlined the permit processes and provided for more affordable fees, more contractors 15 would lawfully obtain such permits; and 16 WHEREAS, it is suggested that local jurisdictions utilize current technologies to provide for 17 more streamlined methods, ensuring processes that are easier, more efficient, and more cost 18 effective for everyone; and 19 WHEREAS, permit costs vary greatly across the state indicating that methods for 20 determining the cost of the permits should be reevaluated; and 21 WHEREAS, many times the property owner and the contractor are required to be present 22 when the local inspector inspects the completed work, pursuant to code requirements, and 23 scheduling initial and subsequent inspections can present a hardship to the contractor and 24 property owner; and 25 WHEREAS, in the event that the property owner does not schedule an inspection within the 26 time period of such permit the contractor, in some cases, is fined or required to pay an 27 additional fee to extend a permit or is required to pay a re-inspection fee due to the inspection 28 scheduling issues; and 29 WHEREAS, a standard policy among local jurisdictions to establish consistent scheduling, 30 reporting, and notification procedures would benefit contractors and property owners; and 31 WHEREAS, allowing the licensed contractor to provide a letter of certification indicating 32 that the completed work meets all current applicable codes and requesting the permit to be 33 closed as being in compliance would save the local jurisdiction a great deal of time and 34 expense; and 35 WHEREAS, the creation of a centralized statewide database to search and control permits 36 would tremendously aid in addressing current issues in areas concerning real estate 37 transactions, home inspection verifications, and insurance claims; and 38 WHEREAS, such a centralized statewide database would also provide local tax assessors 39 with home improvement, remodeling, and other information potentially leading to increased 40 assessment revenue; and 41 WHEREAS, a study needs to be undertaken in order to address these areas of concern within 42 the construction industry. 43 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES: 44 (1) Creation of House study committee. There is created the House Study Committee 45 on Local Building Permits. 46 (2) Members and officers.

SB 2 HCS - FAST Act. Brief Synopsis
This is a very brief synopsis of the House Committee Substitute to SB 2. For more complete information, please see the entire bill. This bill did NOT pass, but may be acted upon during the 2018 session. Section 1 Name - "FAST Act - Fairness, Accountability, 17 Simplification, and Transparency - Empowering Our Small Businesses to Succeed." Section 2 (a) Definitions
(4) " `Regulatory fees' shall have the same meaning as set forth in Code Section 48-13-5." This is the amendment I was most interested in. Originally the definition changed a great deal from the definition we got passed years ago and was not nearly as beneficial. It originally left out the section I have highlighted below.
(6) "Regulatory fees" means payments, whether designated as license fees, permit fees, or by another name, which are required by a local government as an exercise of its police power and as a part of or as an aid to regulation of an occupation, profession, or business. The amount of a regulatory fee shall approximate the reasonable cost of the actual regulatory activity performed by the local government. A regulatory fee may not include an administrative fee or registration fee. No local government is authorized to require any administrative fee, registration fee, or fee by any other name in connection with a regulatory fee, except an occupation tax, as defined in paragraph (4) of this Code section. Regulatory fees do not include development impact fees as defined by paragraph (8) of Code Section 36-71-2 or other costs or conditions of zoning or land development.
(b) each co/city shall establish a schedule of regulatory fees and requirements including timelines for processing applications (c)(1) Upon receipt of an application for a permit, a co/city shall require only 50 % of regulatory fee to be paid. (2) Each city/co shall notify you upon receipt and certification that the app is complete. (3) Whenever a city/co does not meet an established deadline for processing a completed app, the fee shall be reduced by 10 % for each 10 business days that the city/co fails to meet its deadline. (4)(A) Upon approval of an app, each city/co shall notify applicant of the amount of the fees due, reduced by the amount, if any and shall require payment of such fees due prior to the issuance of any permit. (B) If the fee has been reduced by more than 50% the city/co shall issue the permit along with any refund due the applicant. (5) Natural disaster exclusion (6) Whenever a city/co does not meet an established deadline for processing a completed application, an applicant may elect to use the alternative permitting, review or inspection process and the city/co shall not collect any additional amounts for such application in excess of 50% of the original fee. (d) Each city/co shall establish an expedited licensing and permitting process which will give priority processing for such licenses or permits for which the city/co sis authorized to charge an additional fee in an amount not to exceed two times (2X) the regulatory fee for the application you are requesting expedited processing. Section 3 Reciprocity of Licenses (a)(1) each licensing board shall establish provision for the issuance of transferred licensed to individuals whose domicile is located in this state who have been licensed in another state whose criteria for licensing has been determined by the board to meet or exceed the qualifications for licensing in this state. Section 4 deals with agencies of the state government which are basically the same as those above for city and county governments. Section 5 provides for procedural requirements for adoption, amendments, or repeal of rules.
