Code Enforcement Process
Code Enforcement handles complaints related to potential violations of the City’s Building and Zoning codes.
Once your concern is brought to the attention of the City, a Code Enforcement Officer will conduct an inspection. During busier times of the year, it may take two to three days before the inspection can happen.
If a violation is found, the property owner, in most cases, is notified by the City either by correspondence or in person. The officer will automatically revisit the site on the correction date to verify compliance.
If violation is not corrected, the Code Enforcement Officer automatically continues enforcement. If all reasonable enforcement efforts fail, a Civil Citation is issued. It takes around 40 days after the first inspection before this happens.
