A Chapter of the International Code Council
The Indiana Association of Building Officials, Inc., (formerly Indiana Inspectors’ Association, Inc.) was founded in 1945 by a group of Building Officials who felt the need for leadership and cooperation in the promulgation, dissemination, and enforcement of the Building Codes within the State of Indiana.
Strength through numbers and cooperative effort would insure the best means of providing better service to the communities.
These factors are more important today with the introduction of new materials, emphasis on energy savings and high cost connected with the building industry.
We, the members of The Indiana Association of Building Officials, will constantly use our combined knowledge and experience to establish liaison with various groups in promulgating workable codes and the understanding of them.
We will continually strive for proper enforcement of adopted codes to insure the safety, health, and public welfare of all individuals.
Forward dedicated the memory and the principles of Mr. Herman Darlage, Past President, IABO.
