May is just around the corner, and that means it’s time to celebrate Building Safety Month—a nationwide campaign led by the International Code Council (ICC) to raise awareness about the importance of building codes, safety, and community resilience.

At PermitTechNation, we’re proud to join professionals across the country in recognizing the vital role that permit technicians, code officials, and building safety professionals play in keeping our communities safe.

Why Building Safety Month Matters

From the homes we live in to the workplaces we rely on, building safety impacts every aspect of daily life. This month is an opportunity to:

• Highlight the importance of modern, regularly updated building codes

• Educate the public on safety practices

• Recognize the professionals working behind the scenes to ensure safe construction

How You Can Participate

We encourage our members and partners to get involved throughout May:

• Share educational posts and resources on social media

• Spotlight your local permitting and inspection teams

• Participate in community outreach or safety events

• Use ICC weekly themes to guide your messaging

Join the Conversation

PermitTechNation will be sharing content, resources, and ways to engage all month long. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or new to the field, your voice helps amplify the importance of building safety.

Let’s work together this May to celebrate the people, practices, and policies that keep our communities strong and resilient.
