Code Enforcement
The City of Mound's Code Enforcement staff work with residents to ensure neighborhoods are clean, safe, and healthy for the community to enjoy. Staff responds to questions and concerns and responds appropriately to ensure the preservation of property values and to prevent unsafe, unsanitary issues from infringing on the rights of others.

Nuisance Conditions
Nuisance conditions are defined in Chapter 42 of the Mound City Code. 

While each situation is unique, some common violations include:

• Excessive storage of items in a yard
• Storage of junked or abandoned vehicles on site
• Accumulation of junk, debris, rubble, or construction materials
• Unmown turfed areas
• Discarded household items like electronics, appliances, and furniture
• Dilapidated or collapsing structures

Collaborative Efforts
The city encourages neighbors to work on issues early on in the process before matters grow beyond easy solutions. This can be done through neighborly communication. The city does recognize that this is not always possible or practical in some situations.

Contact City Staff
Nuisance matters are addressed and/or enforced through a complaint-based process. This means that city staff is not always proactively looking for and initiating action on violations. To initiate city action, a complaint must be filed with the city. 

Staff is available to respond to any questions regarding code clarifications, potential violations, and/or for notifications of violations received.
