Note that all citizens’ complaints are confidential. You do not have to leave your number, but leaving your name and number can be helpful in some instances to better handle the complaint.

2. What will happen if I make a complaint?

Citizen complaints are addressed in a confidential, friendly and understanding way. Upon receiving a complaint, a code enforcement officer will conduct an inspection of the address that is in question to verify the violation. Once the violation has been identified the code enforcement officer will then proceed to send out a letter notifying the owner of the property of the violation that exists. The property owner is then given time to address/correct the violation, whether it be by moving an inoperable vehicle, trimming back weeds, cutting grass, repairing a fence, or relocating trash cans and debris.

While most property owners comply after the first notification, those who do not receive additional notices and/or fines. In addition, some violations may be abated by the city at the owner’s expense.
