About Code Enforcement

The City's Code Enforcement staff provides service to the 60,000 plus residents of this community, along with our local business partners as it relates to the maintenance and use of the residential, commercial, and industrial properties within the City's seven square mile geographic limits. The vast majority of issues that Code Enforcement investigates are the result of complaints received from concerned citizens along with proactive work done by the inspectors aimed at maintaining the aesthetics and value of property within the City. Some of the most common concerns the Division handles are: lack of landscaping maintenance, deteriorated property conditions, inoperable vehicles stored in public view, structures built without permits, signage, zoning and land use matters, graffiti on private property, and trash container storage. Code Enforcement staff works to educate our citizens in the hopes of achieving voluntary compliance and is able to resolve most concerns by working together with our community partners. The Division also works closely with the City Attorney's Office on more serious property maintenance matters that were not successfully resolved at the administrative level.
