Code Enforcement responds to various violations in your community. Information of the more basic codes enforced by Code Enforcement are listed below. You can contact Code Enforcement at the numbers below with any questions or to report a violation.
City Ordinances and Appeals
The City's Property Standards Ordinance is available online. If you receive an administrative penalty citation for a violation of a section of the Property Standards Code you are required to get your property into compliance by the date noted on the citation and pay the assigned penalty. The municipal code allows for an appeal process to an administrative citation.
Please note, a recent organizational restructure has resulted in Code Enforcement moving from the Police Department to the Community Development Department. As a result, some prior service delivery responsibilities have changed.
Code Enforcement will now be addressing private property violations only. Any on-street parking violations such as expired plates, abandoned or inoperable vehicles, RVs and trailers will now be responded to by Police Department staff.
WHAT IS NOT A CODE VIOLATION?
There are neighborhood problems that do not violate public law. For example, a neighbor’s tree overhangs your property, drops leaves in your yard or causes damage to your fence. A neighbor’s water drains onto your property. These conditions are private matters between the two property owners. The City has no jurisdiction in these civil matters.
