If a municipality doesn’t have a building inspector, who does the inspections and who issues the certificate of occupancy as required by the code?
The New Hampshire Fire Marshal’s Office or its designee has the authority to enforce the State Building Code in towns where there is no local building inspector. The New Hampshire Fire Marshal’s Office issues Certificates of Occupancy only for State or University of New Hampshire System buildings. In towns where there is no local code enforcement, the contractor is required to notify the New Hampshire Fire Marshal’s Office prior to beginning construction.
