Sussex County Uniform Construction Code Board of Appeals Seeking Membership
The Sussex County Board of Appeals operates with ten members, five regular members and five alternate members. Members of this Board volunteer their services. Meetings are held on a monthly basis, unless no business is pending. The Board consists of a licensed architect/engineer/building subcode official, a person qualified as an electrical subcode official, a person qualified as a plumbing subcode official, a certified fire official, and a person qualified as a fire protection subcode official. Each one of these positions also has an alternate member of the same stature.
