Authorize the governing body of a Class 1 municipality to enact and enforce vacant property registration ordinances.

Summary

The law lets the governing body of any Class 1 municipality adopt an ordinance that creates a city‑wide registry of blighted residential or commercial buildings. Property owners must register a vacant property within 30 days of it becoming blighted (or after notice) and pay an annual fee that rises over time. The fees are intended to offset the public costs of inspecting, policing, and maintaining these properties.
