HB 1627 - This act authorizes county commissions in third class counties to adopt building regulations. Currently, only first and second classification counties may do so. If a valid petition is submitted by the qualified voters of any defined affected area, the county commission of such third classification county must appoint a building commission. The building commission must prepare a building and electrical to be submitted to the county commission for adoption and to the voters of the affected area for their approval.

Any regulations adopted shall apply to the erection, remodeling or addition of building structures, but shall not apply to farming structures. No regulation adopted shall apply to land use.
