Code Enforcement

Complaint Process:

For every complaint that our code enforcement officer receives, there is due process to ensure compliance.

1. Problem identified (through citizen complaint or officer detection)
2.  A notice is delivered by the officer to the homeowner or person responsible for the property. This notice gives the responsible party 7 to 14 days to rectify the issue(s).
3. After the 7-14 days have elapsed, a second inspection is conducted on the property.
4. If the issue(s) are not corrected upon the second inspection, the property owner will be notified in writing about the violation detailing the city ordinance violation.
5. 10 days after the letter is delivered there will be a final inspection, if the property is not brought into compliance, a bid goes out to contractors to resolve the issue (weed cutting, removal of the junk vehicle, etc.)
6. The City of Fountain Inn then bills the property owner to pay for the services rendered to bring them into compliance.

Property Maintenance Bored 

The property maintenance board exists to hear complaints, mediate between building officials, code enforcement, and property owners when called for, and listen to appeals.
