What Unpermitted Structures Do To A Community

Unpermitted structures and uses have a great impact on our community. Approximately 1 out of every 4 properties has an unpermitted issue. Properties with unpermitted issues usually impact the beauty of our communities due to sub-quality construction, or they lead to over-parking or excessive noise.  A few examples of code violations and unpermitted issues include: Trash, junk and debris left on properties, abandoned motor vehicles stored on the property; untended landscape; setback requirements; building without proper permits; additions or remodels undertaken without proper permits, violating occupancy limits, verifying home businesses such as day care facilities, etc. and many more.

How Unpermitted Structures Affect A Community

Unpermitted structures adversely affect the safety and wellness of the public. Structures built without a permit are never inspected to ensure compliance with today’s building codes. These codes are not made to deter those owners from maximizing the use of their property, but are set in place to enforce high standards of public safety and well-being.

Who is Affected By Unpermitted Structures?

Our communities are comprised of two major groups – owners and renters. Each has the right to live in a community free of adversity. Everyone in the community is a neighbor; either living next to, across from, or behind someone else. Every person plays a key role in keeping the integrity of the community in order. With your help, Code B can help keep the integrity of your community in order.
