The City's Code Enforcement Program supports the City's public
safety mission by investigating potential or actual violations
of city, public health and other applicable regulations. The
Code Enforcement Officer is responsible for enforcement of violations
of the Woodinville Municipal Code, including but not limited
to, construction/building, fire, surface water, nuisance, junk
vehicles, signs and noise regulations. The most common violations
investigated include:
- Building/construction without a valid
permit.
- Tree removal that exceeds permissible
limits and without a valid permit.
- Junk/abandoned vehicles.
- Clearing/construction within designated
sensitive areas such as wetlands and native growth protection
areas.
- Sign code violations.
- Nuisance complaints such as outdoor
storage of junk and noise.
An investigation will be started upon receipt of a formal
complaint. The City does not respond to an anonymous complaint
unless it involves a life safety issue. Following property and
code research, contact is made with the person responsible for
the potential or actual violation.
The City seeks voluntary compliance and provides a reasonable
schedule for the violation to be corrected. Failure to achieve
voluntary compliance may result in the issuance of an infraction
which assesses a monetary penalty for each violation and each
day the violation continues. Penalties are assessed at $125
first offense, $175 second offense, and $250 for the third and
subsequent offenses. The infractions are filed with the NE District
Court, 8601 160th Ave. N.E., Redmond , WA.
When compliance is met to the satisfaction of the City, the
responsible party receives a Certificate of Compliance and the
investigation is closed.
