Section 15.06.010 of Metamora's Title 15 establishes the 2006 Edition of the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC), published by the International Code Council, as the official property maintenance standard for the Village of Metamora, Illinois. By adopting this code, the village incorporates all of the IPMC's regulations, penalties, and conditions into local law, subject to any local additions, deletions, or modifications specified elsewhere in Chapter 15.06. The effect is that buildings and structures within Metamora are governed by this combined framework of the base IPMC and any village-specific amendments.

Under § 15.06.010, property owners and managers operating in Metamora are subject to the full set of standards found in the 2006 IPMC as locally amended, covering maintenance, safety, and habitability requirements for buildings and structures. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with both the base IPMC provisions and any Metamora-specific additions or deletions outlined in Chapter 15.06, since local modifications can alter what the base code requires. Keeping properties in conformance with this combined standard is the baseline expectation for lawful operation within the village.
