Report a Code Violation

Please read the following information before reporting a code violation on the link below. To report street parking violations, call Dispatch at 612 861-9898 or Public Safety at 612 861-9800. 

The City of Richfield has authority to enforce city code violations. Community Service Officers (CSO's) will attempt to view the violation from the public right of way. A violation must be observed before a notice is issued. Due to appellate court decisions and constitutional law issues, they cannot enter a backyard or look over or through a fence meant for privacy. They can view the violation from your property with your permission. 

Violation notices are left at a residence and mailed to an owner of rental property. Most violations require compliance within five days. A second violation notice is issued if the violation remains. The City may abate violations such as long grass or garbage, issue repeat violation notices and/or file a formal complaint with the City Attorney for violations that that are not corrected. 

Please leave your contact information so we can reach you if we have questions. State Statute protects a complainant’s identity and is kept confidential. You do however, have the option of remaining anonymous. 

This is a brief overview of City Code Enforcement. If you have questions regarding procedure or to check the status of a complaint, email jflesher@richfieldmn.gov and kmueller@richfieldmn.gov or call 612-861-9880. Please include the address in question.
