The Building Board of Appeals consists of five Southlake residents and two alternate members who have been appointed by the City Council for two-year terms. In addition to making building code recommendations to the City Council, the Building Board of Appeals makes official decisions regarding the appeals they hear. Among other items, the board hears appeals from citizens to reverse decisions made by the City’s Building Official regarding the interpretation of building codes, contractor license revocations and building condemnations. In making appointments to the Board, the city Council will give consideration to persons who are qualified by experience and training to pass on matters pertaining to building construction, mechanical design, plumbing systems or electrical systems, or who have practical experience in matters relating to building construction or value such as a mortgage banker or licensed real estate agent. Members, except for the building official, may not be employees of the City of Southlake.
