Functions The Construction Board of Appeals is a state mandated board. Members are appointed by the Chairperson of the County Board of Commissioners. Anyone who disagrees with a decision made by the Building Department regarding  construction codes has the right to appeal the decision to this board. The board listens to the facts regarding the issue, and makes a decision. If a person disagrees with the local Board of Appeals, they may then appeal to the State Construction Board of Appeals. The local Construction Board of Appeals cannot make decisions so broad as to effectively make an exception to the code, and cannot allow any exceptions to the "barrier free" or "handicap" code requirements.
