Procedures
To report a Code Enforcement issue, please:
Once a Code Enforcement issue is filed, the code enforcement officer will inspect the site. If a nuisance is declared, the owner of the property will receive a notice that they have 10 days to remedy the nuisance. If they do not, the City will abate the nuisance, and the full cost of the abatement will be charged to the property owner.
If payment is not made within 30 days, a lien shall be placed against the property, and the amount shall be collected in the same manner as annual ad valorem (property) taxes.
