Regardless of whether you assist ISO or do not, your city is going to
get a grading anyway. It is just liable to be a Class 10 due to
non-participation.

 

As far as the value, for each class difference, a 1% difference in the
property insurance applies to the property for the live of the
structure. All other factors being the same, a property that is graded a
class 2 will pay 5% less than a property that is graded a class 7. 

 

In addition, the BCEGS class is a factor in your jurisdiction's flood
grading if they participate in the flood insurance program. The same
class 2 to a class 7 BCEGS difference can create a significant
difference in flood insurance rates. 

 

Lastly, the BCEGS is the only financial incentive that a local
government has to provide resources to the building department. If you
throw away ISO, you have lost a significant tool to assist you in
justifying an efficient and effective building department.

Who in the inspection service participates in the ISO: Building Code
Effectiveness Grading Schedule. Tell me why I should continue. Seems
like a hassle with no tangible results.
