Updated Building Codes Available for Public Review
The City of Twin Oaks will soon be adopting new building codes for the purposes of inspections and code enforcement within the City. In order to provide the public with the opportunity to review the new building codes and in compliance with §67.280 RSMo, the City is providing access to the complete codes at the links below.
- International Building Code (IBC) 2015, as amended by St. Louis County Ordinance No. 27,654
- International Existing Building Code (IEBC) 2015, as amended by St. Louis County Ordinance No. 27,654
- International Residential Code (IRC) 2015, as amended by St. Louis County Ordinance No. 27,654

- The National Electric Code is only available for in-person viewing at city hall.
The adoption of these new codes will bring the City in line with updated building codes recently adopted by St. Louis County. As Twin Oaks contracts with St. Louis County for code enforcement and inspections, it is necessary for the City to adopt the same regulations as the County.
The codes will be available on the city website and for viewing at Twin Oaks City Hall for a period of 90 days, after which the board of alderman will vote on an ordinance to formally adopt the new codes. Although city hall remains closed due to the COVID-19 outbreak, residents may contact city staff at 636-225-6547 to arrange an appointment for visiting city hall to view the National Electric Code or any of the codes.
