Ohio SB6 revises building inspection law by establishing a state board of building appeals and modifying procedures for municipal and county boards.

Ohio SB6 amends the building inspection law by creating a state board of building appeals within the Department of Commerce, consisting of five members appointed by the governor. The board can establish fees for filing and processing appeals, up to $200, and additional fees for expedited appeals. The board can conduct expedited hearings via teleconference or video conference. Municipal and county boards of appeals can be certified by the state board of building standards to hear appeals, with the state board intervening if no local board exists.
