Mission Statement

The Code Enforcement Division is committed to securing the Public's health, safety, and general welfare, through the enforcement of the City of Monroe, Louisiana Codes and Ordinances.

Procedures

Code Enforcement Office investigates complaints from citizens, Monroe Police Department, Monroe Fire Departments and other similar agencies such as - Elderly Protective Services, Health Department, Home Health agencies, etc.

Code Enforcement Office inspects neighborhood conditions, premises and structure(s) noting any Building, Housing, or Zoning violations. We also note whether the violations create a dilapidated and dangerous condition such that it endangers the public welfare.

Code Enforcement Office prepares a written report noting the violations and the appropriate remedies necessary to resolve the violation.

Code Enforcement Office sends a certified notice to the property owner which contains the above and orders the property owner to bring the property up to current City codes, secure it or demolish it within 10/30 days upon receipt of certified card.

A re-inspection occurs at the end of the 10/30 days to verify if the property meets compliance. If the property meets compliance the case is closed. If the property fails to meet compliance the case is forwarded to the City Attorneys Office for condemnation. If properties do not warrant condemnation proceeding and fail to comply, those cases are forwarded to the Prosecutors Office for misdemeanor hearings. Code Enforcement Office follows the orders of the court until the case is closed.
