The Local Officials' Guide to Landscape Architecture has information about the use of titles, exemptions to the laws, sealing and signing of professional work including electronic seals and signatures, what defines professionals' responsibilities, and frequently asked questions. It also includes contact information for Board staff, how to file a complaint, how to verify if a license is active and how to look up a Board action against a license.
Building code regulations and professional licensing laws are intended to work together to protect the public against unsafe structures, incompetent practitioners, and unlicensed individuals. This guide is a tool to assist you, the local official, in your role as part of the system of checks and balances in our shared responsibility for protecting the health, safety, property, and welfare of the public.
