CODE ENFORCEMENT

The primary responsibility of the Code Enforcement Department is the enforcement of the City Code of Ordinances through the Code Enforcement Officer. This person's primary responsibility is ensuring that all residential and commercial properties are in compliance with the City's exterior property maintenance, nuisance, sign, and all other City Codes. 

This is done through interpersonal contact, letters, telephone calls, and any other necessary means. Code Enforcement also works with the Building Department on the enforcement of various state, federal and international codes. 

The mission of Code Enforcement is to provide a fair and unbiased service that ensures a safe and healthy environment for residents, visitors, and members of the business community. We work with residents, neighborhood associations, public service agencies, and other City departments to accomplish this goal. Code enforcement remains vigilant in maintaining the appearance of residential and commercial areas by correcting violations of municipal codes and land use requirements. Through the enforcement program, the City maintains a quality of the life that makes Lathrup Village an excellent place to live and work.
