Code Compliance

Benefits of Following Town Code

The Office of Code Compliance encourages residents and visitors to comply with the Town Code, to ensure that University Park remains a safe and pleasant place to live, visit and enjoy. The wise use of standard codes can improve both the appearance and the longevity of the community. It can improve property owners' return on investment and preserve our reputation as a fine town in which to live.

Please support voluntary compliance. The most common rental and code-related concerns deal with:

  • Exterior Maintenance of Structures
  • Outdoor Storage
  • Overgrown Vegetation
  • Unregistered Vehicles

Responsibilities
