The primary purpose of the Division of Building Inspection is to ensure safe minimum levels of
construction through enforcement of the uniform Kentucky Building Code. This is closely
followed by the enforcement of the Zoning Ordinance, which provides for the safe orderly
growth of our community.
New building codes adopted:
In July the state approved the 2007 Kentucky Building Code and the 2007 Kentucky Residential Code.
See Current Codes for further information on the
implementation and effective dates for these new codes.
Contractors Must Register
We have now registered over 1600 contractors to work in Lexington-Fayette County under
the new Contractors Registration Ordinance. This ordinance requires all contractors to register
