Code Enforcement Policies

The Board of County Commissioners has established policies that guide the Code Enforcement process. Key policies include the following:

1. Complaints are accepted only when submitted using the Code Enforcement Violation/Complaint Form.

   If you wish to submit photographs as evidence, you must also provide a completed Affidavit of Evidence .

2. Cases will not be referred to the Special Magistrate until they have been pending for at least two months, unless the Board of County Commissioners directs otherwise.
3. Property owners seeking a lien reduction must present their request to the Board of County Commissioners. Staff will provide a written recommendation but will not present the case on the applicant's behalf.
4. Code Enforcement receives numerous daily research requests regarding pending cases from real estate professionals, title companies, and other interested parties. A fee of $20 per request applies; Starting 01 Oct 2026 the fee will increase to $100 per request.

Important: Photographs submitted as evidence must be accompanied by a completed Affidavit of Evidence in order to be considered during the complaint review process.
