Code Compliance

You may report a potential code compliance violation by opening a Citizen Request at this location. You may also make a report by calling the Code Compliance Division at (407) 260-3465. For animal control issues, please see the section below.
You may make an anonymous report of a code violation using either of the methods above - but please refrain from providing your name, contact information, or any other identifying information. Any information provided to the City is subject to Florida's Public Records laws and as such, will be provided upon request.
Compliance actions are taken as a result of citizen complaints for all areas of the city, and proactive patrolling of the commercial corridors.
