Code Enforcement

Residential houseThe City of Elk Grove is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life and providing responsive services for our community. With this goal in mind, the Code Enforcement Division was developed to address concerns about unsafe, unhealthy or unsightly conditions in homes, neighborhoods and the entire community.

Code Enforcement Officers work in close association with the Elk Grove Police Department, Planning, Building and Public Works Departments and other local agencies to maintain high community standards and address violations of the Elk Grove Municipal, Zoning and Housing Ordinances. Through enforcement of these ordinances and with community awareness and involvement, Elk Grove will continue to be a place everyone feels proud to call home.

Code Enforcement Officers will assist you in any way possible. However some issues may require referral to a different departments or agencies for resolution. Elk Grove Code Enforcement cannot help citizens rectify the following problems:

  • Emergency situations that threaten human life or property and demand immediate attention - please call 911
  • Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions - (CC&R) violations
  • Private disputes between neighbors
  • Situations which are not specifically addressed in the Elk Grove Municipal Code
