Code Enforcement Training & Certification

Publications

Various training manuals have been developed to support the State’s municipal code officer training and certification efforts. Print versions of program materials are available at no charge to all appointed code enforcement officers and local plumbing inspectors working for municipal governments. These materials are also available at cost to all other municipal officials, state agencies, and the general public. The cost for printed publications is anywhere from $5.00 to $20.00 (tax included) depending on the publication. The program information guide is provided at no cost.

To minimize the cost of the training manuals you may request them on CD-ROM for $5.00. Please contact Sue at (207) 287-8064 for this service.

A number of training manuals have been converted for on-line downloading. There is no cost to download any of the manuals. The format for downloading is Adobe Portable Document Format, commonly known as PDF. The size of the file is also provided because some of the files may be large. If you have problems downloading PDF documents you may need to reset your default browser.
