Code Enforcement Mission
The Development Services Department's Division of Code Enforcement mission is to enforce City ordinances that involve single and multifamily residential and commercial properties in order to maintain a healthy and vital community. The Code Enforcement Department works to prevent and eliminate aesthetic problems and ensures that residents have the opportunity to live in a clean, safe, and healthy community. The department also helps to maintain property values and a strong city tax base. This is accomplished by inspecting residential housing and commercial properties to ensure proper maintenance and compliance with minimum standards.
