With guidance from Clarkton’s Vacant Buildings & Blighted Properties Ordinance and Minimum Housing Standards Ordinance, Clarkton’s Code Enforcement Officer Commissioner E. Troy Mitchell plays a vital role in maintaining community standards and ensuring public safety. Code enforcement involves the implementation and enforcement of laws, regulations, and ordinances related to building codes, zoning, health, and safety. Code enforcement officers investigate complaints, conduct inspections, and work with property owners to address violations, promoting compliance through education and, when necessary, penalties. By fostering a safe and aesthetically pleasing environment, code enforcement helps protect property values, enhance the quality of life for residents, and create a more vibrant community.
