The Technical Bulletin

The Technical Bulletins provide guidance concerning the specific code interpretations used by the Building Inspection Section of the Permit & Resource Management Department. They are intended to aid members of the development community, such as design professionals, builders, and others complying with the codes adopted by Sonoma County.

The Technical Bulletins are cross referenced to the applicable disciplines. This cross reference is found in the upper right corner. Each bulletin contains an introduction, specific technical details, links to the glossary, and illustrations relating to each topic as appropriate. References are provided to the current California state codes, Energy Efficiency standards, Federal and State legislation, and Sonoma County Codes and Ordinances. New bulletins, as well as updates of existing bulletins, are issued periodically.

Comments on the Technical Bulletin series can be directed to DeWayne Starnes.
