Code Enforcement Division

Code Enforcement Division is intended to ensure the acceptable quality of living environments in Sikeston is maintained. City codes are enforced as a vital aspect of maintaining public safety and mobility and keep neighborhood streets clean and free from debris that would detract from both the appearance and safety of the community.  These codes regulate matters related to public safety, zoning matters, public commerce, city cleanliness, public advertisements and displays, vehicular issues and environmental matters. 

Ordinances affecting electrical & plumbing matters prevent many fires and problems that would cause expense and devastation. Observance of codes prevents the infringement of rights from one neighbor to another. Codes enable disease control by limiting bug and rodent infestation when enforcing certain lawn care and housing ordinances. 

Code-enforcement officers take note of code violations. Through appropriate documentation channels, they deliver notifications to the violators of city codes and ordinances. When an individual is ticketed or summoned to court, they are potentially obligated to pay fines.
