Class Title:
Where do we fit? Essential functions of Code Enforcement.
Class Description:
Code enforcement plays a crucial role in ensuring compliance with local laws and regulations to safeguard public health, safety, and welfare. This course explores the reasons behind the varying placement of code enforcement in different jurisdictions. Factors such as jurisdiction size, code enforcement function scope, and available resources influence where this function is housed.
In this course, we delve into the benefits and drawbacks of having code enforcement in a separate department. By examining increased specialization, improved coordination with other government agencies, and enhanced transparency, participants will understand how a dedicated department can boost expertise, effectiveness, and public trust in code enforcement. Conversely, we also explore the challenges, including increased costs, reduced flexibility, and potential bureaucracy associated with maintaining a separate department.
Whether you're a local government official, a code enforcement officer, or someone interested in understanding the dynamics of code enforcement, this course provides valuable insights into the complex decision-making process surrounding the placement of code enforcement and its impact on the overall functioning of a jurisdiction.
