Code enforcement strategies A code enforcement officer will then visit the site, determine if someone is violating a code, and issue any applicable fines. Alternatively, they might walk or drive through a city or county to provide neighborhood code enforcement.

Investigation and Notification Information collected during investigations into code violations is public record subject to Florida Sunshine laws. Complaints are inspected in a timely manner, with a priority placed on those complaints most seriously related to health, safety, and welfare.

Scan your city or state's public records website for a search engine and enter your code violation info to see if the complainant is listed. Call the code enforcement agency and ask them who called the complaint in. If you're nice, they'll often tell you.

An inspection warrant, not to be confused with an administrative search warrant, allows a state or local official, such as a code enforcement officer, to inspect any building, place, or structure for compliance with applicable fire, safety, plumbing, electrical, health, minimum housing, and zoning standards.
