Code Enforcement
What is Code Compliance?
The City of Flowery Branch's Department of Community Development is responsible for enforcing a variety of Planning and Development related ordinances and regulations. The Department staffs one (1) Code Compliance Officer to investigate complaints and help maintain a high quality of life in the City of Flowery Branch. The Code Compliance Division within Flowery Branch’s Department of Community Development maintains the City’s status as a clean, livable city by ensuring that all properties comply with standards set by the Mayor and City Council. It is the City’s policy to ensure compliance with City ordinances by investigating and resolving reported violations of City code. The City will work to assure code compliance by both encouraging voluntary compliance with property owners and by taking enforcement action, if necessary, against code violators who do not comply.
