Cal. Civ. Code § 110-11-2-.02
Scope of Rule
Operative Text
(1) When, as provided for in, and in accordance with Code Section 8-2-26(g) of Part 2 of Article 1 of Chapter 2 of Title 8 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (O.C.G.A.), a decision by a local building official is appealed to the Department of Community Affairs, an Appeals Subcommittees, as established herein, shall be convened to review and rule upon the appeal. Decisions by the local official can only be appealed to the Department of Community Affairs if there is no local Board of Appeals.
Under Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. ch. 110-11-2 § 110-11-2-.02, Georgia law establishes a state-level appeals pathway for certain local building official decisions. When a locality does not have its own Board of Appeals, a party may escalate a local building official's decision to the Georgia Department of Community Affairs, where a specially convened Appeals Subcommittee will review and issue a ruling. This provision sets the scope and threshold condition for triggering that state review process.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating in Georgia jurisdictions without a local Board of Appeals should be aware that, under § 110-11-2-.02, a local building official's decision may be challenged at the state level through the Georgia Department of Community Affairs. Compliant operators generally document all communications and rulings from local building officials to support any potential appeal. Understanding whether a local Board of Appeals exists in a given jurisdiction is a key threshold question before pursuing the state-level process.

Tenants affected by local building official decisions in Georgia may have an indirect interest in the appeals process established by § 110-11-2-.02, particularly when housing conditions or code enforcement rulings are at issue. If the locality lacks its own Board of Appeals, the Georgia Department of Community Affairs serves as the review body through its Appeals Subcommittee. Tenant-rights organizations can help individuals understand whether this state-level appeals pathway is relevant to their circumstances and what options may be available.
