Operative Text
There is hereby adopted as the property maintenance code of the village of Savoy, in the state of Illinois, and for the control of building and structures, a property maintenance code known as the "International Property Maintenance Code" 2018 Edition as published by the International Code Council. Each and all of the regulations, provisions, penalties, conditions and terms of said International Property Maintenance Code are referred to, adopted, and made a part hereof, as if fully set out in this chapter, with the additions, insertions, deletions and changes prescribed in Section 8.24.020 . Said Code is available and on file for examination by the public in the office of the village clerk.
Section 8.24.010 of Savoy's Title 8 establishes the 2018 edition of the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC), published by the International Code Council, as the official property maintenance standard for the Village of Savoy, Illinois. This adoption means that all regulations, penalties, and conditions contained in that code carry the same legal force as if they were written directly into Savoy's local ordinances. Any modifications to the base IPMC are addressed in Section 8.24.020, and the full code is available for public review at the village clerk's office.
