GET STARTEDLimited spots each week.
Every report is reviewed by a QA professional before delivery — not just generated and sent. That human review step means we can only take a limited number of jobs per week. Submissions are reviewed in the order they're received, and we'll let you know upfront if your report will take longer than 24 hours.
Before you ask.
What codes does Annapolis enforce for new construction?
Annapolis adopts the Maryland Building Performance Standards, which reference the IBC and IRC with state amendments. The city also enforces its own historic preservation overlay in the Colonial-era district, requiring separate design review for exterior modifications.
How does the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area Act affect my Annapolis project?
Properties within 1,000 feet of tidal waters must comply with Critical Area restrictions on impervious surface, buffer plantings, and stormwater management. Code Buddy flags these requirements when your project falls within the mapped zone.
What is included in the $250 Inspection Readiness Report?
The report reviews your submitted plans against applicable codes, identifies likely inspection failures, and provides specific code references for each finding. You receive results within 24 hours of submission.
Does Annapolis require separate historic district approval?
Yes. Projects in the Annapolis Historic District must obtain a Certificate of Approval from the Historic Preservation Commission before permit issuance. Code Buddy's report flags elements that typically trigger commission review.
How does Code Buddy handle Annapolis waterfront flood zone requirements?
The report checks your plans against FEMA flood zone designations and Annapolis floodplain management ordinance requirements, including freeboard elevation, flood-resistant materials, and utility placement above base flood elevation.
