Code Enforcement

Ensuring the city is home to neighborhoods everyone can be proud of and maintaining the city’s motto of a “Quality Community for a Lifetime” is a team effort. The Code Enforcement Division works with residents and property owners throughout the city each day to help meet that goal.

The goal of Code Enforcement is to maintain and improve the safety and appearance of private property in the city. Code Enforcement inspectors enforce the ordinances and regulations enacted by the City Council to address public nuisances, property maintenance, and zoning issues on private property that may be detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare of the community.

*Community Notice: Temporary Code Enforcement System Issue

The City of Commerce City is currently experiencing a technical issue with our case management system that temporarily prevents case images from uploading correctly. This may cause delays in processing some Code Enforcement cases, particularly those requiring photographic documentation. Our IT team and the system vendor are working to resolve the issue, and we are using temporary backup methods to continue enforcement work as efficiently as possible. Thank you for your patience as we work to restore full functionality.
