International Property Maintenance Code

 Statesboro’s City Council voted at its regularly scheduled council meeting on March 2, 2021, to approved the International Property Maintenance Code. This is a code compliance tool that will provide more specificity to residents and code compliance officers in identifying building code violations. Now that this code has been adopted, the city’s code compliance officers will begin gradual enforcement over the next few months.
