Code Enforcement - Property Maintenance - Zoning Enforcement

The City of Sharonville is a great place to live because most Sharonville residents and businesses take great pride in their homes, neighborhoods and places of business.  However, sometimes these collective efforts are negatively impacted by properties that fall into disrepair, high weeds and grass, garbage and debris accumulation and abandoned or junk vehicles.   The City of Sharonville enforces the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) and the Sharonville Zoning Ordinance to make sure Sharonville remains a desirable residential and business community.

Process

Once a potential violation is reported, it is added to the list for upcoming inspection to determine if any potential code violations exist.  If a violation is found, a written Courtesy Letter or Zoning/Property Maintenance Violation Enforcement Notice is issued to the owner of the property with a time limit to remedy the situation in a timely manner.  If the violation is not addressed and there are not extenuating circumstances, the City can initiate legal action against the owner of the property through the Sharonville Mayor’s Court.
