Finds that among the laudable purposes and objectives for adopting a state building code is the promotion of the health, safety, and welfare of homeowners who remodel or add to their homes.

Finds that such purposes are not met unless the state building code is effectively enforced through a comprehensive inspection program, which emphasizes inspections of remodels and additions to owner-occupied, single-family homes.

Declares that a county or city violates RCW 19.27.050 when the jurisdiction fails to provide: (1) An owner of record, who is remodeling or adding to an owner-occupied, single-family residence, a copy of the inspection schedule from the local permit issuing authority by regular mail; and

(2) A copy of the inspection schedule from the local permit issuing authority to the owner of record at the site of the first inspection required by the local permit issuing authority. The requirements of this provision only apply to remodels or additions to owner-occupied, single-family residences.
