The Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code provides an administrative process to appeal the final decision of a local Building Official. Any aggrieved party may appeal the Building Official’s/Building Maintenance Official’s decision concerning application of the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code (VUSBC) and the Virginia Amusement Device Regulations (VADR) or refusal to grant modification to the provisions of the VUSBC.

See the Prince William County Board of Building Code Appeals Manual for more information.
