Code Compliance Program

The Board of County Commissioners adopted Lane Code Chapter 5 – Administrative Enforcement to provide an Administrative Civil Penalty Code flexible enough to accomplish its purpose, but also constrained enough that any action taken is done so responsibly and with the care necessary to preserve the rights and interests of all citizens of Lane County.

The Code Compliance Program implements the County's land-use, building, and nuisance ordinances by investigating reports and inquiries from the public. In the majority of instances, issues are resolved by voluntary cooperation. The most efficient way to file a complaint is to fill out the Code Compliance Complaint form. The appropriate Compliance Officer will contact you if additional information is needed.

Visit the Land Management Property Records Online (LMD-PRO) site to access official county property related documents such as building, sanitation and land use permits as well as other property related records and historic information.
