The Building Plans Examination group reviews plans, specifications, calculations and other related construction documents for all new or remodeled commercial, industrial and residential buildings or structures. Plan reviewer teams, specializing in each of the applicable trades and ordinances, work together to ensure that all aspects of plan drawings are in compliance with approved codes and ordinances. Our primary goal is to safeguard the life, health, property and public welfare of the building occupants.
NOTICE
On Jan. 8, 2022, the 2021 versions of the International Codes became effective in the city of Aurora. Applicants who wish to build their projects to the requirements found in the 2021 codes are allowed to do so and should notify Building Division staff at time of permit submittal of this decision.
The construction industry is experiencing unprecedented supply chain issues which has not only affected costs, but also inventory and delivery timelines. Due to nationwide shortages of various building materials, the city of Aurora is extending the deadline by which all submittals will be reviewed for compliance with the 2015 codes until May 1, 2023.
There will be one exception to the delayed implementation date:
Due to the safety issues involved, the City of Aurora will begin enforcing IRC Section R324.6.1 'Pathways' from the 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) on all solar permits submitted after October 31, 2022.
