Code Enforcement

The Code Enforcement Department seeks to maintain and improve of the quality of life and property within the City of Nevada through administering fair and unbiased code enforcement. It is responsible for protecting the safety, health and welfare of the citizens by ensuring residences and properties comply with the rules set forth in the Nevada Municipal Code. As a result, an attractive, livable city is promoted, property values are improved and community growth is encouraged.

Here are the 3 most common nuisance violations in the City of Nevada:

1. Tall grass or weeds

Grass, weeds, and brush should not be taller than 8 inches.

WHY? Overgrown vegetation attracts pests like snakes and mice, which can carry diseases.

2. Excessive junk and/or trash

All junk, trash, debris, tires, indoor furniture, appliances, and anything that risks the health and safety of others should be disposed of either in the trash or at the Recycling Center.

WHY? Trash attracts unwanted critters, like mice, rats, raccoons, and opossums. Appliances and furniture could attract curious children, who then climb on or get stuck in the equipment.

3. Derelict Vehicles 

Wrecked, damaged, demolished, disassembled, non-licensed, expired license, disabled vehicle or junk vehicles must be removed from your property or city streets.

WHY? Vehicles that are just laying around are a hazard to children and attract pests that use it as a shelter. Water collects, allowing mosquitos to breed and thrive.
