Code Enforcement

The Code Enforcement Division is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for the citizens of Lowell by enforcing local Building, Zoning, Animal Control and Public Nuisance Ordinances. Code Enforcement is responsible for enforcing codes which address public health and safety issues. The most common violations in Lowell include the following:

• Dog running at-large
• Accumulations of garbage, junk and debris clearly visible from a street or alley
• Vegetation that needs to be cut back so that it doesn’t impact the use of sidewalks or streets
• Grass and weeds greater than 12 inches in height
• Dismantled vehicle parts stored on private property clearly visible from the street
• Unregistered or inoperable vehicles parked within the public right-of-way
