Who we are!
The City of Minneola Code Enforcement Department is
responsible for preserving the quality of life and value of both
public and private properties. Our actions serve as a catalyst
in preserving a high standard of living by mitigating conditions
which may threaten lives, health, safety and general welfare of
the residents of this city. The Code Enforcement Department
provides a comprehensive inspection system to respond to citizen
complaints and enforce minimum standards ordinance, zoning, land
development and sign regulations. Code Enforcement works closely
with Planning & Zoning Department and the City Clerk’s Office to
enforce business and occupational licenses within the city.
FAQ’s
Can I remain anonymous when reporting a code violation?
Yes, it is not the policy of the city to require any
personal information when registering a complaint. Remember that
all information you choose to provide to the city including
names, phone numbers and email addresses are subject to public
record laws of Florida.
Why does it take so long to resolve a code violation?
Upon receiving a complaint our officers will normally
respond within 48 hours. Code Enforcement by law is not a speedy
process and the timeframe to correct violations can vary. Many
times the owner of the property, found to be in violation, will
receive a written notice or a verbal warning. If the violation
is not corrected within the allocated time the officer will
issue a formal notice and the case may then be referred to be
heard in front of the Code Enforcement Board for further action.
What percentage of code violations are bought into
compliance?
Proudly the Code Enforcement Department has 99 % rate of
compliance.
This is a result of the efforts put forth by many
others within different departments of the city, and most
importantly the residents of Minneola as a whole.
