type of Membership:
- Active Membership: This membership is for code officials who are registered in the State of Michigan to perform building code enforcement, construction inspections, and plan review. Each member in good standing shall have a vote on all matters. Honorary members who are voted in have their fee’s reduced by 50% and are considered Active members.
- Honorary Membership: This membership has the same benefits of Active Membership. However, these members pay 50% for dues and seminars. Generally, our retired members will take this option. However, this membership is granted only after applying to the board to request approval of meeting the honoray requirements for this type of membership. If approved by the board, then this membership must later also be approved by the general membership each year.
