Code Information & Appeals​

North Carolina Building Code is highly detailed, and every job site is different. When real-world specifics collide with code books, there can be a difference of opinion on how to interpret and apply code. Our code administrators are here to provide our customers and staff alike with clarity.

Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement is committed to minimizing the disruption when a code interpretation issue occurs. Furthermore, once a code interpretation issue has been resolved, we want to document this for consistent application of the code interpretation. To this end, we regularly hold consistency meetings for each trade. Read Code Enforcement's C​​onsistency Policy.
