16B.73 STATE BUILDING CODE IN MUNICIPALITIES UNDER 2,500; LOCAL
OPTION.
The governing body of a municipality whose population is less than 2,500 may provide that
the State Building Code, except the requirements for persons with disabilities, the requirements
for bleacher safety, and the requirements for elevator safety, will not apply within the jurisdiction
of the municipality, if the municipality is located in whole or in part within a county exempted
from its application under section
16B.72. If more than one municipality has jurisdiction over an
area, the State Building Code continues to apply unless all municipalities having jurisdiction over
the area have provided that the State Building Code, except the requirements for persons with
disabilities, the requirements for bleacher safety, and the requirements for elevator safety, does
not apply within their respective jurisdictions. Nothing in this section precludes a municipality or
town from adopting and enforcing by ordinance or other legal means the State Building Code
within its jurisdiction.
