Administrative Hearing Officer Training Program

Administrative Hearing Officer Training Program

The Administrative Hearing Officer (AHO) training is a means for municipalities to acquire training for designated officials that are seeking to become administrative hearing officers with jurisdiction to hear violations of certain locally adopted codes, including building and property maintenance.

What You’ll Learn

This course will provide an overview of the duties of a certified administrative hearing officer and an overview of best practices. This course will cover the statutory authorization for the AHO program, the mechanics of the law, and the administrative hearing officer process.

Outcomes

The AHO program provides training for both codes officials and those seeking to become administrative hearing officers. The course serves as both initial and recertification for the AHO. Pursuant to T.C.A. § 6–54–1001 et seq., a municipality can, via ordinance, create an administrative hearing office with jurisdiction to hear violations of certain locally–adopted codes, including building codes and property maintenance codes. The law also allows a municipality, through its administrative hearing officer, to levy fines for such violations in excess of $50.
