(A) An ordinance prescribing a penalty or forfeiture for a violation must, before it takes effect, be published in the manner prescribed by I.C. 5-3-1, unless:
(1) It is published under I.C. 36-5-2-10(c); or
(2) It declares an emergency requiring its immediate effectiveness and is posted in:
(a) One public place in the town; or
(b) A number of public places in the town equal to the number of Town Council members, if the town has abolished legislative body districts under I.C. 36-5-2-4.1.
(B) Except as provided in I.C. 36-5-2-10(c), if the town publishes any of its ordinances in book or pamphlet form, no other publication is required. An ordinance prescribing a penalty or forfeiture for a violation takes effect two weeks after the publication of the book or pamphlet. Publication in book or pamphlet form, if authorized by the Town Council, constitutes presumptive evidence:
(1) Of the ordinances in the book or pamphlet;
(2) Of the date of adoption of the ordinances; and
(3) That the ordinances have been properly signed, attested, recorded and approved.
(C) This does not apply to a zoning ordinance or amendment to a zoning ordinance, or a resolution approving a comprehensive plan, that is adopted under I.C. 36-7.
(D) I.C. 36-5-2-10(e) states that an ordinance increasing a building permit fee on new development
must:
(1) Be published:
(a) One time in accordance with I.C. 5-3-1; and
(b) Not later than 30 days after the ordinance is adopted by the legislative body in accordance with I.C. 5-3-1.
(2) Delay the implementation of the fee increase for 90 days after the date the ordinance is published.
