Code Compliance Division

The Sacramento City Council has adopted City Codes (laws) specifically designed to address blight, nuisances, and to maintain a clean environment for all citizens in our community. The City of Sacramento does this by working in partnership with the people of Sacramento.

The mission of the Code Compliance Division is to promote and maintain a safe and desirable living and working environment. We help maintain and improve the quality of our community by administering a fair and unbiased enforcement program to correct violations of municipal codes and land use requirements. We also work with residents, neighborhood associations, public services agencies and other City departments to:

• Facilitate voluntary compliance with City laws and codes.
• Empower community self-help programs.
• Develop public outreach programs.
• Establish community priorities for enforcement programs.
