Complaints are prioritized with issues dealing with the health and safety of our community getting first priority. You may chose to stay anonymous, however, the code enforcement officers will not be able to inform you of any actions taken or planned. Often citizens complain about a situation, which is not a city code violation, but have failed to give the code enforcement officers a way to advise them of such . The code enforcement officers do not discuss the name of a complainant with a violator when a complaint is observed. The city cannot enforce deed restrictions unless they mirror city codes.
Restrictive covenants are a contract between the homeowners in a specific area and the developer.
The city is not a party to that contract. If you want your restrictive covenants enforced, first try your homeowners association. If one does not exist or they will not enforce the restrictions, any party to the contract has the right to go to the Justice of the Peace s office and file a Suit for Specific Performance. The complainant must pay a filing fee and a fee for the Constable to serve the defendant. The complainant may request that these fees be part of any judgment against the defendant.
