At least thirteen Arkansas cities have adopted some kind of property maintenance code whether it is the International Property Maintenance Code, or a derivative of it. These cities are Bentonville, Fort Smith, Little Rock, North Little Rock, Lowell, Morrilton, Cherokee Village, Pine Bluff, Texarkana, Russellville, White Hall and Clarksville. Perhaps you know some of the leaders in these communities and can ask them personally how the maintenance code has affected their cities. I've read testimonials online about how neighborhoods in Cherokee Village were vastly improved by a fairly administered code.

You work hard to pay for and maintain your property. A maintenance code will help to protect your investment.
