S&B staff is enforcing the UDC in some Wisconsin municipalities as of Dec. 1, 2009On December 1, 2009, there will be changes in about 300 Wisconsin municipalities in the procedures for permitting and inspecting construction of new dwellings under Comm 20-25, the Uniform Dwelling Code (one- and two-family dwellings).Staff of the Safety and Buildings Division of the Department of Commerce will be taking over the UDC enforcement from inspection agencies that have been under state contract for the UDC enforcement. The change is due to state budget issues, not due to inspection agency performance problems. A list of the currently affected towns, villages and cities is online. The list is as of November 23, 2009, and may change as arrangements progress. Enforcement of the UDC in all of the other state municipalities will not change. (It is always best to contact local officials, including county officials, to be sure all construction work is compliant with local regulations.) An updated list of all state municipalities and their current UDC enforcement status is online: http://commerce.wi.gov/SB/docs/SB-UDCMuniStatus.pdf. Any dwellings currently under construction that have been issued permits by an state-contracted inspection agency will have the process completed by that agency. The Safety and Buildings Division can be contacted for more information, or to obtain a UDC permit submittal packet: 608-789-5656, comsbudctech@wisconsin.gov. Additional information will be announced via emails to the Uniform Dwelling Code email group, and will be on the UDC program Web page.
