It’s the new year, and with it come updates to our City Code that went into effect on January 1. If you own a rental property or operate a child care facility within the city limits, required licenses and registrations are now available for purchase through our online portal. Additionally, amendments to the property maintenance code are now in effect.
New:
-Rental Registration and Inspection Program of the city of Terre Haute, Indiana
Sec.4-555: An owner of a rental unit shall complete a registration form and pay an annual $5.00 registration fee for each parcel of real property on which a rental unit is located. The registration fee shall be due by January 31 of each year.
Updates:
- Registries and Registration Division II. Child Care Providers
Sec.4-576: $5.00 annual registration fee required per location of each child care provider at the time of registration.
-Property Maintenance Code
Sec.7-162: To protect, preserve, and promote the physical and mental health and social well-being of the people, to prevent and control the incidence of communicable disease, to reduce environmental hazards to health, to regulate privately and publicly owned buildings, structures, and improvements for the purpose of maintaining adequate sanitation and public health, and to protect the safety of the people and to promote the general welfare.
It is further declared that the purpose of this code is to eliminate the blight, to ensure maintenance of property, and to thereby ensure public health, safety, and welfare insofar as they are affected by the continued occupancy and maintenance of structures and premises. Existing structures, improvements, and premises that do not comply with these provisions shall be altered or repaired to provide a minimum level of health and safety as required therein.
