The City's goal is to protect the health, safety and welfare of its citizens, the consumer and public interest with no intent to limit growth or inhibit construction, but rather to ensure the proper development thereof through regulatory limitations.
Therefore, City of Roman Forest has adopted the 2021 International Building Codes and Amendments and the 2020 National Electric Code as a minimum standard for construction. The builder/developer or homeowner must comply with minimum standards and will be subject to required inspections for compliance. In addition, the city has several ordinances governing building requirements that must also be followed.
In an effort to help clarify requirements and costs with obtaining a permit, the City of Roman Forest is providing information online to all interested parties.
