What We Do

The CCAB can also provide another opinion to the building official when permit applicants are unsatisfied with a decision about a technical code requirement. For more information, read Tip 332, Review of SDCI Decisions by the Construction Codes Advisory Board. 

CCAB may appoint various sub-committees to explore construction criteria that are not covered by the technical construction codes and could include the use of the Innovation Advisory Committee.

The CCAB's 13 members are appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council. Its authority comes from Seattle Building Code Section 105. 

Each board member serves a three-year term. Members serve until they are reappointed or someone is appointed to replace them. If you think you might be interested in serving on CCAB, watch the City's Boards and Commissions page for information about openings.

Meetings are scheduled for the first and third Thursday of every month, as needed.
