Code Compliance

The Code Compliance function of Community Development is responsible for the enforcement of City Ordinances and State Codes which address zoning, signage, public health, safety and select building codes.


Reporting a Code Compliance Violation


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.

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. 

You can also access the Longwood City Code here. Please note, this link will take you out of the City of Longwood website.
