Code Enforcement
MISSION STATEMENT:
“ The City of Longmont’s Code Enforcement Service is dedicated to enforcing codes and proactively engaging the community in a partnership of problem solving to establish a sense of safety and self reliance that reflects in more beautiful neighborhoods and enhances our quality of life.”
The Code Enforcement Division is
under the Community and Neighborhood Resources Division of the Community Services Department.
Our inspectors work with citizens to ensure public health and quality of
life are not compromised by violations to several ordinances. These ordinances
were written and enacted to protect the health and safety of all residents. Action on
a specific violation may be initiated either by a complaint to the City or
by observation of the violation by a Code Enforcement Inspector. The owner and/or
party in control of the property on which a violation occurs will be notified
of the violation and given an opportunity to effect the necessary remedy.
Failure to correct the violation within the specified time period may result
in the City of Longmont abating the violation. The owner or responsible party
will then be billed for costs associated with eliminating the violation and/or
being issued a summons to appear in Municipal Court.
