Code Enforcement Board

The Code Enforcement Board is a quasi-judicial governing body that hears appeals concerning citations for code violations. CEB implements remedies and imposes fines through application of standards in the International Property Maintenance Code.

• Issuance of orders sanctioning fines up to the maximum
• Request for timely remedies of ongoing violations
• Waiver of charges on special circumstances

Final Orders Involve:

• Liens placed on the property in violation
• 30-day period to file appeal to CEB decision in District Court
• Uncontested decisions deem CEB orders final, property owner responsible for fines, fees and charges incurred in correction of violation and hearing process.
