What we do
How Code Enforcement helps
Our goal is to address issues fairly and consistently while keeping residents informed about expectations and next steps.

Review reports from residents and businesses, assess the situation, and determine the appropriate next steps.
Education & guidance
Help property owners understand requirements and timelines, and share resources to support compliance.

Follow-up & resolution
Track cases, document outcomes, and confirm when issues are resolved or referred to the appropriate department.
Common code topics
Examples of issues we frequently receive questions about. If you’re unsure, contact Village Hall and we’ll help route your request.
Property maintenance
Overgrown grass/weeds, exterior debris, unsafe structures, and general upkeep concerns.
Trash & storage
Improper set-out, accumulation of refuse, and outdoor storage that creates safety or nuisance issues.
Vehicles & parking
Inoperable or unregistered vehicles, parking in restricted areas, and related neighborhood concerns.
Building work & alterations

Permits & inspections
Start here
Many projects require a permit before work begins. If you’re planning a project, contact Village Hall early so we can help you understand what’s needed.
