Code Compliance
Making Our City More Livable
The primary responsibility of the City's Code Compliance Division is to ensure that the Poway Municipal Code is being followed, which helps provide a better quality of life for all City residents. The following is a list of the frequently received complaints as they relate to the Poway Municipal Code:
Complaint | Poway Municipal Code |
---|---|
Abandoned Vehicles on Private Property | PMC 10.52.010 |
Green Pools and Spas | PMC 8.16.060 |
Graffiti On Private Property | PMC 9.56.020.B |
Placing and Removal of Trash Containers | PMC 8.68.145 C |
Unkempt Yards | PMC 8.76.030 and PMC 8.80.030 |
Sometimes the Code Compliance Division receive calls regarding issues that are not in violation of the Poway Municipal Code and therefore do not fall under the City's jurisdiction. These types of items, such as leaves falling into your pool from a neighbor's yard, or a tree causing damage to a fence or structure on your property, are civil matters.
