Summary
In the City of Woodland, California, the 2025 California Green Building Standards Code, Title 24, Part 11, governs green building requirements citywide under Woodland Municipal Code § 15.04.010(g); the city repealed its own local amendments to that code on November 18, 2025 by Ordinance No. 1746, so the state edition now applies without Woodland-specific modification.
(g) The 2025 Edition of the California Green Building Standards contained in California Code of Regulations Title 24, Part 11, is hereby adopted as the Green Building Standards Code of the City of Woodland; ... (n) The above-identified codes in this Section 15.04.010 (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Codes") are adopted for the purpose of prescribing regulations for the erection, construction, modification, repair, maintenance, demolition, use and occupancy of buildings and structures. ... ... § 15.04.020. Violation of codes—Penalties. Violation of any provision of the Codes shall subject the violator to any or all of the following: suit for civil remedy or criminal penalty, or the administrative penalties provided in Chapter 9.20 of the Woodland Municipal Code. ... § 15.04.110. ... (Reserved) Note: Former § 15.04.110, Amendments to California Green Building Standards Code, derived from Prior code § 6-1-10; Ord. 1651; Ord. 1655; and Ord. 1701, was repealed by Ord. 1746, 11/18/2025.
Full Breakdown
Woodland Municipal Code § 15.04.010 adopts a full set of construction codes for the purpose of prescribing regulations for the erection, construction, modification, repair, maintenance, demolition, use and occupancy of buildings and structures, as subsection (n) puts it, and subsection (g) specifically adopts the 2025 Edition of the California Green Building Standards, found in Title 24, Part 11 of the California Code of Regulations, as the Green Building Standards Code of the City of Woodland. Until late 2025, the city carried its own local amendments to that code in a separate section, § 15.04.110.
Ordinance No. 1746, adopted November 18, 2025, repealed those amendments outright: the code now shows § 15.04.110 as Reserved, with a note explaining that the former green-building amendments, which traced back to the Prior Code and Ordinances 1651, 1655 and 1701, were repealed. That leaves the 2025 CALGreen Code, as published by the state, controlling green building requirements in Woodland with no city-specific modification layered on top. Violations of any of the Codes adopted in § 15.04.010, the Green Building Standards Code included, are handled the same way as any other adopted construction code violation, through the civil, criminal, or Chapter 9.20 administrative penalty structure in § 15.04.020.
Violations & Fines
Because the Green Building Standards Code is one of the Codes defined in § 15.04.010(n), a violation is enforced the same way as any other adopted building code violation: civil remedy, criminal prosecution, or an administrative penalty under Chapter 9.20, per § 15.04.020. Woodland currently carries no separate, code-specific green-building penalty of its own after Ordinance 1746 repealed its former local amendments.
