Property compliance in New Brunswick
New Brunswick runs electrical, plumbing, boiler and elevator oversight through Technical Inspection Services, a single provincial branch, which keeps compliance paths consistent from Moncton to Edmundston. The Building Code Administration Act brought provincewide adoption of the National Building Code, closing gaps in unincorporated areas.
The regulatory landscape
| Building code | National Building Code as adopted under the Building Code Administration Act |
|---|---|
| Fire code | National Fire Code as adopted by the Office of the Fire Marshal |
| Electrical | Technical Inspection Services (Department of Justice and Public Safety) — Canadian Electrical Code as adopted in New Brunswick |
| Technical safety (boilers, elevators, fuel) | Technical Inspection Services |
| Accessibility | Barrier-free requirements in the adopted NBC |
| Rental housing | Residential Tenancies Tribunal |
Worth knowing in New Brunswick
- Technical Inspection Services issues electrical wiring permits directly — there is no delegated authority model.
- Provincewide building code adoption is recent; older rural buildings often predate any inspection regime.
