Z1 Building owner notifications by the AHJ.

Z1.1 Notification to building owners of covered buildings by the AHJ. Based on records obtained from each county assessor and other available information sources, the AHJ must create a database of covered buildings and building owners required to comply with the standard established in accordance with this section. The database may include buildings and building complexes presumed to meet the definition of covered building and multifamily buildings greater than 50,000 square feet in floor area.

Z1.1.1 The database will contain information about buildings that may be subject to compliance, their owners, and information about multifamily residential buildings eligible for incentives. The database will also contain information to assist tracking and reporting on building owner compliance, and incentive application and distribution. Commerce will create a method for tracking building owner notification responses. Each building or building complex will be assigned a unique building identifier.

Z1.2 By July 1, 2021, the AHJ must provide the owners of covered buildings with notification of compliance requirements. Notifications will be mailed to the mailing addresses county assessors have on file.

Z1.3 Failure by the AHJ to provide the notification in Z1.2 does not release the building owner of the legal obligation to comply with this law. When a covered building undergoes a change of ownership, it is the buyer's responsibility to contact the AHJ and update the covered building's profile.

Z1.4 By July 1, 2021, the AHJ must provide notifications to the building owners of multifamily residential building where the floor area exceeds 50,000 gross square feet, excluding the parking garage area.

Z2 Building owner response to notifications.

Z2.1 Correction of errors.Building owners are responsible for reviewing the property and building information provided by the AHJ through notification including, but not limited to, building or building complex ownership details, gross floor area, and other information as identified by the building owner.

Z2.1.1 Correction of errors documentation form.Building owners who are notified in error may submit a correction form to the AHJ. The correction form will be used to document gross floor area (conditioned and unconditioned) and/or building type. Building owners that submit the correction form must also submit the documentation required to demonstrate an exception as required in Section Z4.1 prior to the compliance date if applicable.
