The International Code Council (ICC) is a member-focused association dedicated to developing model codes and standards used in the design, build, and compliance process to construct and maintain safe, sustainable, affordable, and resilient structures. Most U.S. communities and many global markets utilize these model codes as the basis for their codes and ordinances. Every three (3) years, the ICC revises and updates their model codes to ensure they remain up to date and relevant with current building techniques, available materials, and/or legal statutes. For these same reasons, the City of Plano routinely reviews, amends and adopts the most recent version of these model codes when they are published by the ICC.

This amendment will ensure the Property Maintenance Code remains consistent with the other adopted model codes and reflects current construction and legal requirements.

Approval of this item will amend the 2024 International Property Maintenance Code. The revisions will generate a base revenue increase of approximately $20,000.

Approval of this agenda item supports the City's Strategic Plan Critical Success Factor of Excellent, Innovative, and Accountable City Government.
