ADRIAN — City residents voted overwhelmingly to repeal Adrian’s point-of-sale inspection ordinance for residential properties in the Nov. 4 election.

The unofficial total was 2,606 votes to repeal the ordinance and 653 votes against the repeal, for a margin of 80% to 20%.

The ordinance, which requires homes in the city to pass an exterior inspection before they can be sold, was adopted in June 2024. A group of residents opposed to the ordinance were successful in gathering enough signatures to force a referendum.
