Code Compliance

FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Violations are (more often than not) caused by lack of knowledge regarding codes and are easily resolved.

Code Compliance coordinates periodic announcements in local newspapers, social media, and on our webpage regarding common Moab Municipal Code violations help residents avoid receiving a notices. We may also mail or
drop off a postcard a friendly reminder for issues such as camping and burning within City limits, weeds and debris,
short-term rentals, and grease trap requirements.

The violation complaint process will be based on complaint-driven concerns submitted by residents; short-term rentals operating within residential zones and/or conducting business without a business license are current priority.
