Code Enforcement, Dawn Stark
Responsibilities
Responsible for overseeing the building department, planning and zoning board, board of adjustment, and work with the Police Department on all matters pertaining to code enforcement.
Overview
Code Enforcement is necessary to make sure the Land Development Regulations and Codes are adhered to by all residents. Without Code Enforcement, our community would have no parameters within to live and remain orderly.
All tax paying citizens should have the expectation of a clean and safe neighborhood. All citizens should have the right to peaceful coexistence and if there is defiance of the code in their community, they should have the assurance that it will be dealt with until the violation is corrected.
Code Enforcement also regulates that new construction is being placed in the proper zoning areas and setbacks are abided by. Permits for construction are approved through Code Enforcement before being processed by the Building Department.
If you have a code enforcement concern or you need to report an issue within our community, send a email directly to our office with the details.
