About IABO

The Indiana Association of Building Officials (IABO) is committed to the development of those charged with the enforcement of the life safety provision of building related codes in the State of Indiana. To that goal, IABO has been, for over 50 years,

• A nationally recognized "not for Profit" statewide organization.

• A forum for discussion and a singular voice representing Indiana building inspectors in the promulgation and enforcement of the Building Codes.

• An organization devoted to sharing information directly impacting your job.

• A training institute providing a full program of classroom and field education in regional and statewide seminars.

• A professional association through which individual members gain support for their careers, learn national certification information, receive Code updates, a membership directory, Indiana Building Review magazine, and assistance in collecting State grant monies for education.

Why you should join ...

There are classes held throughout the year teaching from the most basic to the most technical aspects of the Codes. You'll become a better inspector knowing not just what the codes are, but why they are, and your enforcement will be consistent throughout the state.

Instruction covering the operation of building departments is offered to assist you and/or your staff with office procedures, forms development and your legal responsibilities.

Association with peers allows single voice representation within the state and national code development entities and promotes legislation and code development with the viewpoint of Building Inspectors being clearly promoted.

Inclusion in a professional association is a strong step toward career enhancement. Your supervisors, your clients and your communities should be made aware that "Building Inspector" is a career which requires specialized and technical knowledge. It is not merely a job which is easily replaced.

The Annual Business Meeting is an event packed with education, peer discussion, a vendor trade show highlighting new and existing technologies, and much more. This event must not be missed.

Though cost of membership is low, the cost of not having support in your job is very high. Investigate this opportunity today.
