The Linn County Board of Supervisors set a public hearing date of Dec. 8, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. to consider proposed amendments aligning local code with the 2024 versions of several building- and safety-related ordinances.
Charlie Nichols of planning and development told the board the updates cover four sections: the Property Maintenance Code, Construction Regulations, Housing Code and Fire Code. Nichols said the county is updating codes to the 2024 version “in order to stay in line with the state building codes” and that the building board of appeals has reviewed the proposed changes and recommended approval.
The board made four successive motions to set public hearings and approved each by voice vote. Nichols said he will present the ordinances at the Dec. 8 hearing and note any substantive changes at that time.
