Fostering a healthy and attractive community.

The Code Enforcement Division is dedicated to working in cooperation with city officials, property owners and citizens to preserve the beauty and value of property and lands as well as promoting the safety, health and general well-being of all citizens and visitors to our city. Code Enforcement provides information to the general public and to individuals affiliated with specific development projects. We investigate complaints and enforce compliance in the areas of nuisance standards, including:

• Accumulation of junk
• Animal permits
• Dismantled and junk vehicles
• Encroaching vegetation
• Personal storage on a public right-of-way
• Shrubbery and vision obstructions
• Signs
• Substandard dwellings
• Unauthorized dumping of garbage
• Zoning

We rely primarily on requirements from the City's Municipal Code, which is available online. Public health and safety are priorities as we work to gain compliance with existing code and administrative rules. We aim to provide exceptional customer service by emphasizing a cooperative, problem-solving approach with professionalism and respect.

Through education and enforcement, we work with community members to:

• Maintain and improve community livability
• Support healthy neighborhoods
• Enhance community beautification
• Protect natural resources
• Ensure compliance with state and local codes, policies and goals
