Received a Code Compliance Letter Recently? Don’t Worry — We Can Help!

If you’ve recently opened your mailbox to find a Code Compliance letter, you're not alone — and you're certainly not out of options.

Whether you’re a homeowner, contractor, or property manager, receiving a notice from your city or county’s code enforcement office can be stressful. These letters are often related to unpermitted work, incomplete inspections, or violations discovered during property sales or insurance claims. But before you panic, let us reassure you: we’ve seen it all, and we’re here to help.

What Is a Code Compliance Letter?

A code compliance letter typically notifies you that your property has a violation related to local building codes or zoning regulations. Common examples include:

Work performed without a permit

Expired permits that were never finalized

Unpermitted structures like sheds, decks, or enclosures

Non-compliance with zoning setbacks or floodplain regulations

Repairs done after storm damage that bypassed the proper permitting process

If this sounds familiar, don’t worry — these issues can often be resolved through a process called after-the-fact permitting.

What Is After-the-Fact Permitting?

After-the-fact permitting is the process of retroactively obtaining permits for work that has already been completed. This involves submitting the required documentation, hiring licensed professionals to certify the work (if necessary), and scheduling inspections to verify that the project meets current codes.

While this process can be more complex than applying for permits up front, it’s completely manageable — especially when you have an experienced permit management team on your side.
