The mission of Code Compliance is to help maintain and improve the quality of our community by administering a fair and unbiased enforcement program. Code Compliance Officers work closely with residents and community groups to achieve abatement of reported public health violations. This division also works closely with other City departments to actively enforce City codes, facilitate voluntary compliance, empower community programs (Adopt-a-Street) and participate in community clean-up projects.
Each type of complaint received by Code Compliance has a specific abatement process that requires each complaint to be viewed by a Code Compliance Officer. Written notices are issued for identified violations. The City of Beaumont has implemented a one-time mowing, clean-up and junk vehicle notification process. This allows the City to notify property owners once a year via certified mail of litter, high grass, and junk vehicle violations. Once the property owner has been issued a notice, the City has the right to enter the property and abate the violation during the next 12 months without further notification. Each violation demands time and attention which may include follow up through a contract to clean, mow, or remove junk vehicles. In some instances, if the property is not brought into compliance, cases are referred to Municipal Court for prosecution.
