North Ogden City has employed a code enforcement officer for the past several years. Their office is charged with enforcing the code by bringing people into compliance with the various rules and regulations of the city. The office focuses mainly on weeds, trash, trailers, and debris in the front yards and areas which are visible from the street. Please keep in mind that some plants which look like weeds are actually carefully cultivated. Several of our code provisions also allow for the storage of some materials, like vehicles, if they are properly screened from the street by a fence or other method. The department focuses on getting compliance and not generating fines, so we try to work with the individual residents on bringing their property into conformity with the rules.
We appreciate your patience with us and your neighbors as we work through outstanding issues. Our code enforcement officer is willing to answer any questions you may have about what is prohibited. To report an issue or ask a question about an item please call 801-782-7219. Please understand that, because we work with homeowners on compliance, there won’t necessarily be an immediate change.
If you have questions about proper procedures, city code, building permits, community events, how-to’s or other city-related questions, please send an email to jcall@nogden.org.
