Orland Park

International Fire Code (IFC)
& Amendments

The Village of Orland Park has proposed amendments to the Fire Code after review of the latest edition of the International Fire Code (IFC) as written by the International Code Council (ICC).

The Village of Orland Park currently utilizes the IFC as the basis for its property maintenance regulations of construction elements to all existing residential and non-residential structures, all existing premises, and maintains minimum requirements and standards for premises, structures, equipment and facilities at a reasonable level of safety from fire and other hazards. This is a national model code written by experts in 3 year cycles that is used for reference.

The changes to this new code include a limited number of changes to the model code. The local revisions are intended to clarify existing rules and to remove outdated, amended construction standards. Code changes are highlighted in the attached document for public review and comment until July 29, 2023.

Please feel free to review the documents linked below.
