ICC Coachella Valley Chapter
Our Mission
Championing Safety, Integrity, and Excellence in the Built Environment
We apply our professional expertise to safeguard lives, property, and communities by consistently enforcing building regulations and strongly engaging with the International Code Council (ICC) and related organizations.
We prioritize public safety, support uniform code adoption, and provide education for professionals and the public. Through training, advocacy, and collaboration, we advance the role of code officials and strengthen building department operations.
Our work is rooted in service, professionalism, and a shared commitment to a safe and resilient built environment.
