Code Enforcement

PDS provides code enforcement services for multiple jurisdictions throughout Kenton County. Code enforcement is the process by which local governments ensure properties comply with applicable local ordinances and regulations. The Code Enforcement Department conducts inspections and works collaboratively with property owners to address issues related to property maintenance, unsafe or deteriorated structures, nuisance conditions, and zoning compliance. The primary goal of code enforcement is to achieve voluntary compliance, to maintain safe, orderly, and well-maintained communities.

You may submit a complaint by phone, or online form.
