Akron is taking a tougher stance on property owners whose residences housed methamphetamine labs.
City Council members on Monday approved an ordinance requiring owners to tell buyers if a meth lab was ever on the property.
The disclosures will be made on forms provided by the city's law department.
Violators face fines up to $1,500 and up to 180 days in jail.
The legislation also requires owners to disclose if a chemical dumpsite or ''any hazardous wastes'' were ever on the property.
Stow and Green city councils passed similar ordinances in recent months.
Earlier this month, the Summit County Methamphetamine Property Awareness Task Force recommended that the county should create a Web site identifying all properties that have been tainted by methamphetamines
The site would provide a much-needed resource for home buyers and renters when they are deciding where to live, members said.
The task force is a mix of health agencies, county leaders and law enforcement.
