Tryon.
The courtroom was full
Monday afternoon for the public
hearing regarding the “Proposed
Building Code Ordinance of Polk
County, North Carolina.” Most of
the objections were to the part
that stated that you couldn’t build
your own home if the cost were
over $30,000 and must have a
contractor. Some objected to the
licensing of contractors; some
objected to on site inspection
before being able to build; some
objected to having a building
inspector at all. The general
feeling was that there are too
many government regulations
already and let’s not add any
more. The hearing began at 3
p.m. and lasted until 6:15 p.m.
County Manager Marvin Wag
ner stated that the Polk County
Board of Commissioners will now
study the Building Code and
either amend it, reject it or adopt
it.
