PENNBOC Membership Information

PENNBOC was established and continues to be an individual membership organization. To enable participation by all code professionals as well as businesses that have interests in the codes and their development process, associate and corporate member classes have been established.

PENNBOC offers three membership options.  There is one that is right for you.  The membership year is the calender year.

Active Member – To be an active member, your primary duties must be the enforcement and/or development of building codes, related statutes, and ordinances. You are employed by and identify the municipality (township, borough, city, county or a group of them or a COG) or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. OR, you may be employed by a corporation which is under contract to provide code enforcement services to a municipality, or you may be an independent contractor providing these services. In either case,YOU, as an individual, are specifically designated as the municipal Building Code Official or Construction Code Official.

Associate Member –  An associate member is an individual who does not meet the requirements of Active member.

Corporate Members – The corporate member category is for commercial (for-profit) entities, not individuals and not municipalities, with an interest, indeed a commitment, to the issues of importance to the code community. Those concerned with the code adoption process, the products which code officials encounter in their day-to-day “enforcement” activities, and  the products employed in the tasks of code enforcement would also find this classification of interest.

Corporate members may designate up to three individuals to serve on committees, participate in discussions and attend PENNBOC events at the member rate.  Corporate members have no voting privileges.  Representatives are named when dues are paid and may be changed once during the dues-year.

The corporate member category is not open to an enterprise providing code enforcement services, nor is it open to municipalities.

2012 Dues Schedule

     Active and Associate members:  $50 for the calendar year.

     Corporate members: $100 for the calendar year.
