Code Enforcement

The citizens of the City of Richmond work hard to maintain their properties. They take great pride in their community and encourage high property maintenance standards. The City Council adopts the ordinances that the City enforces. When appropriate, effective action will be taken to address and correct the complaint. It is important to recognize the difference between a complaint and a suggestion, observation, question, neighbor dispute, or simply a call pointing out a hazard or safety issue.
