History

    Tazewell County adopted the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code (USBC) on September 1, 1973.  The ordinance defines provisions of which shall control all matters concerning the construction, alteration, addition, repair removal, demolition, use, location, condemnation, occupancy, and maintenance of all building, and all other functions which pertain to the installation of all systems vital to all building and structures and their service equipment as defined by the  Uniform Statewide Building Code, and shall apply to existing and proposed building or structures in the county.

    The building inspections office was established to enforce the provisions of the Building Official Code Administration (BOCA) National Building Code and the International Conference of Building Officials (ICABO)to provide minimum standards to insure the public safety, health and welfare insofar as they are affected by building construction and to secure safety to like and property from all hazards incident to the occupancy of the building, structures or premises.

Mission

 The building inspectors office issues permits for work done in Tazewell County, the Towns of Tazewell, Richlands, Pocahontas, and Cedar Bluff.  (The Town of Bluefield has a Building Official and all permitting is done through that office.)
