The City's Code Enforcement Program supports the City's public safety mission by investigating potential or actual violations of city, public health and other applicable regulations. The Code Enforcement Officer is responsible for enforcement of violations of the Woodinville Municipal Code, including but not limited to, construction/building, fire, surface water, nuisance, junk vehicles, signs and noise regulations. The most common violations investigated include:
- Building/construction without a valid permit.
- Tree removal that exceeds permissible limits and without a valid permit.
- Junk/abandoned vehicles.
- Clearing/construction within designated sensitive areas such as wetlands and native growth protection areas.
- Sign code violations.
- Nuisance complaints such as outdoor storage of junk and noise.
An investigation will be started upon receipt of a formal complaint. The City does not respond to an anonymous complaint unless it involves a life safety issue. Following property and code research, contact is made with the person responsible for the potential or actual violation.
The City seeks voluntary compliance and provides a reasonable schedule for the violation to be corrected. Failure to achieve voluntary compliance may result in the issuance of an infraction which assesses a monetary penalty for each violation and each day the violation continues. Penalties are assessed at $125 first offense, $175 second offense, and $250 for the third and subsequent offenses. The infractions are filed with the NE District Court,
8601 160th Ave. N.E., Redmond , WA.
When compliance is met to the satisfaction of the City, the responsible party receives a Certificate of Compliance and the investigation is closed.
