County holds homebuilders to stricter codes (Hays Free Press)
Homebuilders in unincorporated Hays County will soon have to certify with the county's Environmental Health division that new and substantially expanded single-family houses pass a three-part inspection for compliance with building codes.
In 2007, the Texas Legislature began requiring builders to report foundation, framing/mechanical and final inspections to the Texas Residential Construction Commission, which could fine builders who did not comply within 10 days of a home's completion. But that agency was "sunsetted" out of existence by the Legislature this year and its authority to collect inspection reports delegated to counties that choose to require them.
