AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.

Under this bill, when a homeowner applying for a permit to alter their own single-family home submits a complete application that includes a signed statement from a licensed combination building inspector — a professional certified to inspect multiple types of building systems — affirming that the project complies with state construction codes and local ordinances, the local city or county must automatically approve the plan review without conducting its own separate review. The bill also allows homeowners applying for alteration permits to hire an independent, third-party inspection firm to conduct required construction inspections, rather than relying solely on the municipality or county. Homeowners seeking to remodel or alter their own homes could move through the permit process more quickly by bypassing the standard government plan review, as long as they secure a qualifying inspector's sign-off upfront.
