Restricted fire limits
Sec. 2. (a) This section applies to the following units:
(1) Municipalities.
(2) Counties.
(b) A unit may adopt ordinances that define as restricted fire
limits those areas in which congestion of buildings would be
conducive to the spread of fire and that prevent the spread of fires
within those limits by:
(1) specifying the types of buildings that may not be
constructed;
(2) requiring a license for construction of buildings;
(3) limiting the height to which buildings may be constructed;
(4) regulating the type of foundations, walls, roofs, doors,
windows, and floors used in buildings that are constructed;
(5) requiring the inspection of buildings and structures that have
been, are being, or are to be constructed;
(6) authorizing the revocation of the license for the construction
of a building; and
(7) authorizing the condemnation of a completed or partially
completed building, either by:
(A) ordinance providing the method of condemnation; or
(B) appropriate action in the name of the municipality, brought
when the works board, safety board, or other proper authority
finds that the building is dangerous, insecure, or constructed in
violation of an ordinance.
(c) A municipality may enforce ordinances adopted under this
section within its corporate boundaries and in the contiguous
unincorporated area, to the same extent as and in the same area that
is under the jurisdiction of the municipal plan commission. However,
the municipal ordinance may not be enforced in an unincorporated
area if that area is subject to a county ordinance adopted under this
section.
