The North Texas Chapter of the International Code Council is a non-profit organization serving the Code Official and the building industry. The organization was founded in the early 70’s for the benefit of the local Building Officials to share information. While its membership was a short list, the organization objective had been to place the public welfare above all other interests and to apply the special knowledge and skill of the Building Official to the benefit of all mankind. 

Today, the organization is represented by well over 130 municipal jurisdictions and 40 private industries. The Chapter’s objective is to develop, recommend, and promote uniform regulations and legislation pertaining to building construction, and to further encourage uniformity in zoning practice and code interpretation. The Chapter emphases are to build up the prestige of the Building Official by providing sufficient qualified personnel adequately compensated and establish minimum standards for the administration of a building department. The membership continues to investigate and discuss the principles underlying the safety in construction; occupancy and location of buildings and other related structures.

 The Chapter supports the activities of the International Code Council and continues to promote and maintain building regulations on a local level by promoting quality training and information sharing. The Chapter is a host to various activities and participates in the Building Professional Institute, BOAT, the ICC Code Development Forum and other organizations. Its members serve on various local, state and federal committees and boards.
