What does the Code Compliance Program seek to accomplish?

The primary purpose of the Code Compliance Program is to work effectively with landowners to ensure the maintenance of public health and safety and protection of the environment.  The Program establishes a limited-term, voluntary process for landowners to apply for new use permits or modifications to resolve existing violations.  After the established deadline, owners who are in violation will be required to come into immediate compliance with their existing legal entitlements, and remain in compliance for at least one year before the County will consider changes to their use permit.
