         Department of Building, Housing, and Zoning

Fourth Quarter Review and Analysis - FY 2004



            The mission of the Department of Building, Housing, and Zoning is the enforcement of the Building, Housing, Zoning, and Plumbing Codes for the safety, health, and welfare of the people of Salisbury.


            A principal function of the Department is the administration and enforcement of the following codes and ordinances:


International Building Code 2000: Governs the construction, alterations, equipment, repair, and removal of buildings and/or other structures and fire safety.


International Residential Code 2000: Governs the construction and alterations of single family dwellings.


City of Salisbury Property Maintenance Code: Establishes living, sanitation, and environmental standards or conditions. Requires inspection and enforcement to assure safe living conditions protecting life and property from fire or other hazards.


City of Salisbury-Zoning Code: Regulates the use of land, building height, and area requirements for yards and other open spaces. Controls existing nonconforming uses, establishes use districts, and maintains standards for development.

State of Maryland Fire Prevention Code: Addresses those construction, protection, and occupancy features necessary to minimize danger to life from fire, smoke, fumes, or panic. The code also identifies the minimum criteria for the design of egress facilities so as to permit prompt escape of occupants from buildings, or, where desirable, into safe areas within the building. The NFPA also contains the National Gas Code and The National Electric Code.
