WELCOME TO FOUNTAIN NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES

Code Compliance plays an important role
in preserving the attractive appearance of neighborhoods in the City of Fountain. Fountain's Code Compliance Officers work closely within the community to protect public health, safety, and welfare through the comprehensive and equitable enforcement of City Ordinances, also  known as City Codes, related to nuisance and land use violations. Officers enhance and safeguard the quality of life in our community through education, guidance, and special projects.  

The goal of Code Compliance Officers is first to achieve voluntary compliance with  our City Codes by the property owner, and  secondarily through code enforcement  procedures by utilizing Notices of Violation,  Municipal Court, and the Abatement  Process.
