Rental Housing Problems
The County’s Code Enforcement Division opens cases when there is a possible code violation. Property owners responsible for code violations are given the opportunity to correct the situation and comply with current codes without penalty. Common housing code violations include: leaking water, lack of smoke detectors or weather-stripping, extreme unsanitary premises, broken windows, deteriorated fencing, and exposed wiring.
Report a possible code violation online, call (530) 749-5455 or e-mail at [email protected].
