Code Enforcement Process

Complaints can be filed via email, phone, walk-in or area inspection.

Once a complaint is filed the following steps will occur:

1-The complaint is assigned to code enforcement officer.

3-If the owner is not present owner research is conducted and a warning letter will be typed and mailed to the violator.

4-Upon receipt of the warning, the owner will have a certain number of days to comply.

5-For follow-up, the property is re-inspected. An extension may be given at this time.

6-If the property is in compliance, the process is finished.

7-If the property is not in compliance a citation may be issued, beginning the court process.
