Code Enforcement

CODE ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENT

The Code Enforcement Department was established to ensure public health, safety, and welfare. The program encourages property owners to maintain their property to the minimum standards of the City’s Property Maintenance Code and the City’s ordinances. The goal of the Code Enforcement Department is to work with the property owners, tenants and business owners of Southgate to resolve all code violations in an equitable and helpful manner.

 Enforcement of property maintenance codes and city ordinances helps all property owners and citizens by maintaining or increasing property values and helps ensures the City of Southgate remains a clean and safe community to live, work and play.
