Building Safety Month 2024 is finally here! This year's theme is “Mission Possible", and Week 1 kicks things off by covering the basics of building safety and sharing a bit about Building Safety Month. Here is the Building Safety Month Proclamation given at the Board of County Commissioners meeting on Tuesday, May 7 or watch on PBCTV Channel 20!

Remember, building safety is a comprehensive mission that is only possible when we work together for positive change.​

  • All communities need building codes to protect their citizens from hazards like fires, weather-related events and structural collapse.
  • Building codes are society's best way of protecting homes, offices, schools, manufacturing facilities, stores and entertainment venues.
  • Building safety professionals, including code officials, work day in and day out to keep the public safe.
