Code Enforcement Division
The Code Enforcement
Division is responsible for enforcement of a variety of municipal codes
and ordinances which
were created to promote the health, safety, and
welfare of the citizens of Beaumont. This includes enforcement of
various
ordinances which regulate:
• High
weeds and grass -
High Weeds Enforcement Process
• Trash and litter -
Trash Enforcement Process
• Junk Vehicles -
Junk Vehicle Enforcement Process
• Illegal Dumping
• General nuisances such as broken sewers, standing water, mosquito
breeding grounds, etc.
The
mission of Code Enforcement is to help maintain and improve the quality
of our community by administering a fair and unbiased enforcement
program. Code Enforcement 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
prorgrams (Adopt-a-Street) and participate in community clean-up projects.
Each type of complaint received by Code Enforcement has a
specific abatement process which requires each complaint to be viewed by
a Code Enforcement 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 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
vehicle.
In some instances, if the property is not
brought into compliance, cases are referred to Municipal Court for
prosecution.
You can help make the City of Beaumont a cleaner, safer community by
keeping your property clean. If you would like to report a violation,
contact 311 or 409.880.3719.
