About Region IV Chapter

ICC Region IV connects building safety professionals across Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska in support of safer, stronger, and more resilient communities.

Since its establishment in 2006, Region IV has served as a forum for code officials, inspectors, plans examiners, administrators, fire and building safety professionals, and industry partners who share a commitment to protecting the public and strengthening the built environment. By bringing together experience from jurisdictions across the four-state region, the chapter promotes collaboration, professional development, and the exchange of ideas that improve code administration and enforcement.

Through education, communication, and shared leadership, ICC Region IV helps members address emerging challenges, strengthen professional relationships, and advance consistent, effective practices. Our work supports the people responsible for safeguarding the places where communities live, work, learn, and gather throughout America’s heartland.

ICC Region IV advances building safety by uniting the professionals and organizations responsible for protecting the built environment.

Through leadership, education, collaboration, and the consistent administration of construction codes, we promote safer communities and stronger public confidence. We are committed to professional integrity, practical cooperation, and the continuous improvement of building safety practices across Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska.

Together, we help create places that are safer, more resilient, and better prepared to serve future generations.
