Fairfax County Code Specialist Elected Secretary/Treasurer of the International Code Council

Guy Tomberlin, Code Specialist with the Fairfax County Department of Public Works and Environmental Services, has been elected Secretary/Treasurer of the International Code Council (ICC).

Through public/private sector collaboration, ICC Members develop model building codes that guide safe and sustainable construction across the country and around the world. Code uniformity promotes safe, affordable construction growth.

Tomberlin, a Certified Building Official, has been active in code enforcement since 1985. He works closely with all the divisions in the Department of Public Works and Environmental Services, and is currently manager of the Building and Technical Services section of Land Development Services. Throughout his county career, he has served in many capacities, including residential and commercial inspector, commercial mechanical inspection supervisor and chief plumbing engineer.

He also develops and delivers training programs related to plumbing, mechanical and fuel gas codes for other local government officials and for the development community. Tomberlin has served on several professional committees and is a past president of the Virginia Building and Code Officials Association, the Virginia Plumbing and Mechanical Inspectors Association and Region VII Chapters of the International Code Council.

“The members of our all-volunteer Board of Directors devote their time, energy and expertise to the Code Council to ensure safe construction while lessening the burden on government,” said Dominic Sims, ICC Chief Executive Officer. “We thank them for their leadership and we thank their local jurisdictions for supporting their service.”

The International Code Council is a Member-focused association dedicated to helping the building safety community and construction industry provide safe and sustainable construction through the development of codes and standards used in the design, build and compliance process. Most U.S. communities and many global markets choose the International Codes.
