Frequently Asked Questions
If a nuisance or life safety violation exists, the Town may correct the violation. Three examples of when the Town may consider correcting the violation is an overgrown lot, an unsecured swimming pool or an unsecured building providing an attractive nuisance. If the Town corrects the violation, liens are placed against the property for the costs associated with the correction.
There are several ways to report a violation. You can call the department at 305-234-4262 and ask to speak to the Code Compliance Records Clerk who will take the complaint over the phone. You can submit a compliant via our Online Citizen Request system or you can come to the Code Compliance office and submit a complaint with the Code Compliance Records Clerk.

If you suspect there is a code violation on another property, you may contact Code Compliance Division and provide this information. A case will be opened and investigated appropriately. If a violation is found to exist, the owner will be contacted and required to remove the violation and/or obtain the necessary permits for the violation.
If a violation is noted, a courtesy warning will be given to the property owner of record, and in some cases the tenant, to advise them of the problem(s). A property owner is given a period of time to correct a violation. If the property owner does not correct the violation within the deadline given in the warning, the Code Compliance Officer will issue a citation.
