Health and Zoning Code Enforcement

A major component of the Divisions duties deals with health and zoning complaints. The majority of this work deals with junk/debris and junk vehicles which are violations of the municipal code. Inspectors identify violations, advise the property owner of the violation, giving them appropriate time to conduct clean-ups on their own. If the violation is not abated, the inspector arranges a clean up at the property owner's expense.

Complaints may be brought to the attention of the Division by phoning (515) 283-4046.
