Mission Statement
The mission of the Code Enforcement Division is to enforce The City of Peachtree Corners ordinances in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the community.

- Maintaining an attractive, safe, and healthy environment in order to provide a high quality of life for both our residents and visitors.
- Encouraging responsible property maintenance.
- Improving both the appearance and value of all properties, residential and business.
- Providing prompt, courteous, impartial, and professional service to the citizens of The City of Peachtree Corners.
- Maintaining open communication and continuing education with the community.
- Seeking voluntary compliance with the provisions of the City Code.
While our goal may sound simple, it is through a cooperative effort from property owners, residents and business owners that our goal is made achievable.

- What happens when an observation or concern is reported?
-
Our Code Enforcement Officers will answer questions and investigate concerns from citizens on a wide variety of issues. Depending on the nature of the concern and the results of the inspection, the Officer visits the reported property and works with the property owner/resident to correct any issues found. Depending on the type/size of the violation, there may be more than one follow-up inspection required.
From the date the Notice of Violation (NOV) is issued, the owner/resident is given a specific time frame in which to correct violation(s) and come into compliance. A NOV can be verbal, a door hanger, a written notice and, at times, a phone call.
- What should I do if I receive a notice of violation (NOV)?
-
Correct the violation either before or by the corrective action date given. If for any reason you are unable to come into compliance within the time frame given or have questions, please call the Code Enforcement Officer who issued the NOV to discuss the violation/resolution.
Our Code Enforcement team works with the community through communication and education with a goal of voluntary compliance - while encouraging responsible property maintenance.
