Code Compliance

Code Compliance enforces the city ordinances passed by the City Council that are enforced for the protection and sanitation of the city. Our goal is to gain voluntary compliance through a concerted effort to use a common sense approach to daily problems that affect our citizens. We encourage residents to report code issues in the community by calling 817-255-7916, by emailing mbriggs@lakeworthtx.org, or by completing the online “Report a Code Compliance Issue” form.  Please allow some time for Code to inspect the situation and they will report back to you.

Some of the most common violations include:

  • High Grass and Weeds
  • Junk and debris
  • Bulk pick up out early
  • Illegal outside storage
  • Unapproved parking surfaces and unregistered vehicles are considered junk vehicles 
  • Property Maintenance
  • Health and Sanitation
  • Structural and Dangerous Conditions
  • Fencing in Disrepair

Citizens are encouraged to contact Code Compliance if they have a concern about a potential violation. Our Code Officer will determine if there is a violation according to city ordinances and notify the owner of the violation.
