Code Enforcement

Code Enforcement

The mission of the Code Enforcement Division is to enforce the health, safety and welfare provisions of the Boone County Code of Ordinances and to promote, protect and improve the health, safety and welfare of the citizens and visitors to Boone County. Where violations occur, our goal is to work with our citizens to achieve voluntary compliance, whenever possible, and to ensure an efficient and fair process.

OTHER VIOLATIONS
Vehicles, trailers, campers and boats improperly parked on private property is a violation under Subdivision Regulations.  These and other violations may be reviewed at Boone County Planning Commission's publications page that contains the most current Subdivision Regulations and Zoning Regulations.  Any violation under the Subdivision Regulations and/or Zoning Regulations should be reported to Planning and Zoning at (859) 334-2196.

Vehicles, trailers, campers or boats that are parked, disabled or abandoned on the street should be reported to the Boone County Sheriff's Office.  You can reach their dispatch 24/7 at (859) 371-1234.
