Alabama Home Builders & Homeowners — This Deserves Your Attention Before October 5
The Alabama Home Builders Licensure Board has proposed a new 47-page statewide residential building code that is intended to take effect in 2027.
We spent some time going through the proposal because, frankly, figuring out exactly what is changing—and what those changes may cost—is not particularly easy from the document itself.
We are not opposed to reasonable building codes or consumer protection. The question is whether additional requirements provide enough benefit to justify the additional cost and regulatory burden ultimately passed on to the homeowner.
Among the questions we submitted to the Board:
• What existing problem is this new rule solving?
• What evidence shows the public would be significantly harmed without it?
• How was the determination of “No Economic Impact” reached?
• What will the additional testing and construction requirements cost?
• Why is the optional 2024 IECC Stretch Code – Appendix RG being adopted, and how is it intended to apply?
• What less restrictive alternatives were considered?
We have put together a plain-English summary of the proposal, the important changes we identified, our full public comment, and a link to the original 47-page proposed rule so you can read it yourself.
Public comments are due October 5, 2026.
The Board has confirmed that comments may be emailed to:

If you want to comment, feel free to use our questions, modify them, or develop your own. The important thing is to read what is being proposed and participate while the comment period is still open.

What Does the Homeowner Actually Get for the Added Regulation?

09/14/2026

Do you have land, a residential lot, a home, or a distressed property you are considering selling?

X3 Construction is interested in buying select properties that make sense for investment, construction, cleanup, repairs, redevelopment, resale, rental use, or long-term ownership.

We are not looking for full retail-priced properties. We are looking for realistic opportunities where the property, price, condition, and potential make sense.

If the property fits as a direct purchase, we may be able to move quickly. If a traditional listing appears to be the better option, X3 Land Group Real Estate Brokerage can discuss that route as well.

For more than 30 years, our work in land brokerage, development, construction and consulting has placed us alongside landowners trying to navigate difficult property, access, permitting and regulatory issues.

Unfortunately, we have seen situations time and again where municipal, county, state and federal processes begin to outweigh—or simply disregard—the legitimate rights of private property owners. Reasonable regulation has its place, but it should never become a tool that allows government agencies, utilities or other large institutions to unnecessarily run over individual landowners. In our experience, that problem has grown progressively worse over the years.

What is happening to Fenn Church in Shelby County is another troubling example. Every landowner deserves to be heard, treated fairly and given meaningful consideration when a reasonable alternative exists.

Congratulations to John Rich on his appointment as Special Envoy for American Landowners, and thank you for using your position and voice to stand up for Fenn Church and landowners across the country. Private-property rights are fundamental, and they are worth defending.

We Buy Select Land, Lots, Homes, and Distressed Properties
X3 Construction is interested in buying select properties that make sense for investment, construction, cleanup, repairs, redevelopment, resale, rental use, or long-term ownership.
We may be interested in:
Land and acreage
Residential lots
Vacant homes
Inherited homes
Older homes
Homes needing repairs
Rental properties
Distressed properties
Wholesale-type opportunities
Properties with redevelopment potential
We are not looking for full retail-priced properties. We are looking for realistic opportunities where the property, price, condition, and potential make sense.
A property may be a good fit if it needs work, has cleanup needs, has development potential, or can be purchased below full retail market value.
A property usually is not a good fit for direct purchase if the seller wants top-dollar retail value or if more is owed on the property than it can reasonably be purchased for.
If the property fits as a direct purchase, we may be able to move quickly. If a traditional listing appears to be the better option, X3 Land Group Real Estate Brokerage can discuss that route separately.
Send a message or visit our web site and send us the property address, parcel number, basic details, amount owed if any, and asking price. You can always reach us at 2053689032 and leave a message if we aren't available.

Time to do spring management. Mowing clover plots is on the list of things to do. If you are not planting spring mixes maintain what you have. Clover plots will produce for many years with very little work. #
