Questions

Which codes does Harvard use?

Harvard is covered by 15 books in Ichi, on the 2024 cycle: IFGC, ISPSC, 521 CMR, 527 CMR 12.00 - Amendments, 527 CMR 1.00 - Amendments, MECC, and 9 more. The full list is above.

Does Ichi include Harvard's local amendments?

Yes — 3 local books: Town of Harvard Municipal Code - Part 1 General Bylaws; Town of Harvard Municipal Code - Part 2 Protective Bylaw; Town of Harvard Municipal Code - Part 3 Regulations. Amendments are loaded as first-class books, not footnotes on the model code, so an answer reflects what Harvard actually enforces.

How current is this code group?

Code groups are maintained in the Ichi platform and this page reflects that library directly. New books, editions and amendments are added on an ongoing basis, and jurisdictions can be added on request.

Can I read the full code text here?

This page lists coverage — which books, which edition, which amendments. The code text itself lives inside Ichi, where it's delivered under our licensing agreements with the ICC and other publishers, and where every answer links to the exact section it came from.
