HOW ARE CODE COMPLIANCE STAFF NOTIFIED OF VIOLATIONS?
ACode Compliance staff respond to written complaints, agency referrals and notification of possible land use or building code violations from other County staff (NOTE: if County staff, other than Code Compliance staff, refer an issue to the Code Compliance Section, and the issue does not directly affect the County employees property, the complaint must be referred through the appropriate elected official or department head). Code Compliance staff also proactively investigate certain types of code violations involving threats to public safety and to certain situations involving illegal signs, illegal businesses (the County prefers to address these violations before a large amount of money is invested in a business that may not be allowed), or issues that have a significant, negative impact on surrounding properties, property values and/or the quality of life enjoyed by other owners in the area.
