54-21.3-05. Enforcement of code by city, township, or county - Relinquishment

A city or township may administer and enforce the state building code only within its

jurisdictional area. A county may administer and enforce the state building code within those

areas of the county in which the state building code is not administered by a city or township.

Cities and townships may relinquish their authority to administer and enforce the state building

code to the county in which they are located in the manner provided by section 54-40.5-03. The

governing body of a city, township, or county electing to administer and enforce the state

building code may designate an enforcement agency. Cities, townships, and counties may

provide by agreement for joint administration and enforcement and may contract for private

enforcement of the state building code.
