How to Find a Specific Code
To find the code that applies to a specific address or situation, start with the most specific layer and work outward:
- Check the municipal code for the town, city, or village where the address is located.
- If the address is in an unincorporated area, the county code (Warren County ordinances) applies directly.
- State statutes (Indiana) govern matters not covered by local code.
- Federal code applies everywhere within the United States.
