Senate Bill 877 amends the Local Government Code to authorize a municipal building inspection in an area of a municipality that is subject to a disaster declaration to be performed by a licensed engineer, a person certified to inspect buildings by the International Code Council, or a person employed as a building inspector by the municipality or, subject to the municipality's approval, any other political subdivision. The inspector may not be the owner of the building or a person whose work is the subject of the inspection. The bill sets out compliance and notice requirements for the inspection and prohibits the municipality from collecting an additional inspection fee related to the inspection.
