Douglas County leaders will consider repealing and replacing an entire chapter of county construction codes this week. If approved by the Douglas County Commission at its Wednesday meeting, construction codes for the unincorporated areas of the county would be updated to align with the 2018 International Code Council series of construction codes, effective Jan. 1, 2023. Other changes would include a new permit fee methodology assigning valuations for new residential, commercial and accessory building construction, and the adoption of appendices allowing for light straw-clay construction, straw-bale construction and tiny-house construction.
