Zoning Enforcement

We've Changed our Name!

Code Enforcement is now Zoning Enforcement
In an effort to clarify the mission and simplify the customer complaint process, Planning & Development Services is changing the title of its enforcement arm from Code Enforcement to Zoning Enforcement. The Zoning Enforcement officers focus their duties primarily on property maintenance issues; for example, the open storage of discarded junk, rubbish, non-operable vehicles or over-grown weeds on residential and commercial properties.

Moving forward, future communications using the term “code enforcement” will describe a broad spectrum of departments with enforcement responsibilities, including the Boise Police, Fire, Public Works, or the City Clerk’s office; and community partners, such as ACHD and Animal Control.

What Does Zoning Enforcement Do?
Zoning Enforcement works with citizens to resolve issues which impact Boise's quality of life, including complaints concerning violations of Boise's Zoning, Sanitation and Nuisance Ordinances. Zoning Enforcement operates on a complaint-driven basis, which means that we must partner with neighbors and other concerned groups to resolve code violations. Zoning Enforcement's goal is to help neighbors resolve problems while dealing with these violations.
