Code Enforcement Mission Statement:
Promoting the maintenance and upkeep of real property, protecting the public health, safety and welfare, and preserving the quality of urban life in the residential and business areas of the City of Munford to establish it as "My Kind Of Town!"

Code enforcement applies to numerous issues that effects the environment, health, safety and well being as well as property values.  The preservation and improvements created by code enforcement is recognized by our government and citizenry as a necessity to halt or reverse deterioration of our community.  The primary goal of code enforcement is to establish voluntary compliance through contact, education and guideance with punitive action taken as a last resort. 

Building permits are required and  inspection conducted by the building inspector are made to ensure that the minimum requirements are met to safeguard public safety, health and welfare and the stability of the buildings .  Your home or business is an investment.  If your construction project does not comply with the codes adopted by the city, the value of your investment could be reduced.  Your permits and inspections allows the building inspector to reduce potential hazards of unsafe construction through enforcement of building codes.
