Building & Code Enforcement

The Code Enforcement Division is the enforcement arm for the City of Parkersburg, which includes: the building codes, sections of the health and safety code, zoning codes, and nuisance codes.

It is our goal to obtain voluntary compliance from the property and business owners.  In the cases where we are unable to obtain voluntary compliance, Code Enforcement Officers have the authority to issue civil citations. The Code Enforcement Division’s first priority is issues that involve the health and/or safety of our community.  We are also concerned with property maintenance issues to ensure the quality of life in our community and to maintain property values.
