Complaint Form

Initial Complaint

Complaints may be taken by written complaint, phone, e-mail, in person, or via this webform. Several questions will need to be researched first such as:

• Who is the legal property owner/responsible party?
• Is this location in the City limits?
• What type of complaint is it? (junk vehicles, rubbish, trash, weeds and debris, dilapidated structures)
• Barking dogs or dogs at large, contact the Animal Control Officer, Police Department.

Inspections

An initial site inspection is conducted on each complaint, which validates the violation(s). Photographs will be taken for the file and possibly the courts.

Notice and Order to Comply

If an inspection reveals that a violation exists, the (officer) will mail out a thirty-day letter, depending on the violation, to the property owner with specific instructions to bring the property into compliance. Another inspection will be performed after the 30 days and if the violation still exists, the City may pursue enforcement by issuance of a complaint or summons from the Magistrate Court. Failure to take the required actions in a timely manner could result in a possible fine in the amount of $2500 per day for each citation of code violation.
