Code Enforcement

Residential Code Enforcement

This Section is charged with ensuring that all residential property owners within the City comply with the City’s regulations. Common code violations enforced by the Officers include building without a permit, clearing trees without a permit, unkept lawns, and improper parking or storage of automobiles, commercial vehicles, recreational vehicles, boats, or junk parts. Much of the Officers’ work involves conducting daily rounds yet a great deal of time is also spent responding to complaints and working with the owners of problem properties to bring about compliance in a timely and equitable manner.

Commercial Compliance Inspection

This Section is charged with ensuring that all commercial property owners within the City comply with the City’s regulations. Common code violations enforced by the Commercial Compliance Inspector include unmaintained landscaping, clearing trees without a permit, building without a permit, illegal signs and banners, and improper parking or storage of vehicles.

While a great deal of time is spent conducting general rounds of the City and responding to complaints, this Section is also responsible for administering the Commercial Property Maintenance Program (CPMP). The aim of the CPMP is to ensure that required property improvements (i.e. landscaping, irrigation, lighting, parking, and signage) are properly maintained. Understandably, when commercial property improvements are properly maintained, then likewise, the City is able to maintain its positive image.
