Taylorville CHAPTER 6 RENTAL PROPERTY § 9-6-9 authorizes designated city officers and employees — those responsible for building, fire hazard, health, plumbing, or electrical inspections — to enter and examine any building, structure, or premises at a reasonable hour. The purpose of such entry is to determine whether the property complies with the requirements of Chapter 6. This provision establishes the legal basis for official inspections but does not itself set out what conditions must be met for compliance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 9-6-9, compliant property operators generally understand that authorized city inspectors may arrive at any reasonable hour to examine their rental buildings, structures, or premises. Operators who maintain records of prior inspections, keep properties accessible, and address code issues proactively tend to be better positioned when city officers exercise this authority. Familiarity with the related provisions in Title 1, Chapters 9B, 9C, and 9D and Section 4-1-2 of the Taylorville Code can help operators understand which departments and duties are covered.

Section § 9-6-9 of Taylorville's rental property regulations establishes that city officers have the authority to inspect rental premises, which means tenants have a corresponding interest in knowing that their living conditions can be subject to official review. If a tenant believes their unit has building, fire, health, plumbing, or electrical deficiencies, this provision signals that city inspection staff are empowered to investigate such conditions. Tenants may consider contacting the relevant Taylorville city department, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization, to understand how to request or prompt an inspection under this authority.
