Authority Having Jurisdiction Clause Samples
The 'Authority Having Jurisdiction' clause defines which governmental or regulatory body has the legal power to interpret and enforce specific codes, standards, or regulations relevant to the contract or project. In practice, this clause clarifies which agency—such as a local building department, fire marshal, or environmental authority—will make final decisions regarding compliance and approvals. By specifying the responsible authority, the clause ensures that all parties understand whose requirements must be met, thereby reducing confusion and potential disputes over regulatory interpretations.
