Property Maintenance

The City of East Moline Does Not Have a Rental Housing Inspection or Registration Program. Therefore, routine inspections of rental properties and vacant buildings are not conducted.

All complaints are handled on a case-by-case basis by various city departments depending on the nature of the complaint. All properties, both residential and commercial, within the city's jurisdiction must adhere to the 2012 International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC), with the adopted local amendments (PDF). This code provides a minimum standard for living to protect the health and safety of both the inhabitant and the surrounding public.

Copies of the 2012 IPMC are available for viewing during business hours in the Inspections Department.

  1. How does the city determine who is the owner of a property?
  2. What happens if I sold the property but did not record the sale with the County?
  3. Does the County take ownership of my property if I stop paying taxes on it?
