LD445

Maine LD445 raises the population threshold for mandatory enforcement of the Maine Uniform Building and Energy Code.

Maine LD445 amends the Maine Revised Statutes to change the threshold for mandatory enforcement of the Maine Uniform Building and Energy Code. Previously, municipalities with over 4,000 residents were required to enforce the code. The bill raises this threshold to municipalities with over 10,000 residents. Smaller municipalities are not required to enforce the code but cannot adopt or enforce a different building code.
