Brookville to use county agency for building regulations

The Montgomery County Building Regulations Division will provide services to the city of Brookville.

The work will include all plan review and inspection of new construction and commercial construction. This plan includes residential building code enforcement services.

“This agreement with the city of Brookville is a prime example of a key component of the county commissioners’ strategic plan that identifies opportunities for coordination, collaboration and cooperation with our cities and townships,” said Montgomery County Commission President Debbie Lieberman.

All the services include the review of all plans and specifications for construction and alteration of commercial buildings. 1, 2, and 3-family homes, rooms, additions and accessory structures, according to the Director of Communications for Montgomery County Cathy Petersen.

“Working closely with our jurisdictions to streamline services is responsible and efficient government that benefits our citizens and businesses,” Lieberman said.

Other services can be HVAC, gas piping and electrical work.

This is to begin on September 4. All contractors, owners and lessees of real estate in Brookville will be required to secure building and inspection permits from Montgomery County’s Building Regulations Division.

“This strengthens our long-standing partnership with Montgomery County,” said Brookville Mayor David Seagraves, noting it enhances essential service delivery and maximizes value for taxpayers and businesses in the city.
