Complaint Process

Violations to Township Ordinances are enforced through the Civil Infraction Process. This usually requires that an individual be afforded a reasonable opportunity to address the Violation before a Civil Infraction Ticket is issued.

Complaint Review

When a complaint is received by the Code Enforcement Officer, he will determine if it is a violation of a Township Ordinance. If the issue is a violation of a Township Ordinance, a Code Enforcement Officer will visit the property to verify the problem.

Property Owner Notification

If a violation is found, the property owner will receive a notice of violation letter detailing the necessary corrective actions, and a deadline to make corrections.

Re-Inspection

The officer re-inspects the property at the end of the given time frame.

If violation still exists, further enforcement will be taken. This action can be a phone call, property visit, or additional notices of violation.

Legal Action

When compliance cannot be reached, a citation is issued and court date is scheduled.

Please understand that the process to remedy any given situation generally takes several weeks or longer.
