Code Enforcement

The City of Bryan Code Enforcement Department is responsible for handling code violations. Voluntary compliance for a violation is the ultimate goal of the department. Correction of code violations, in some cases, may take several days, weeks, or even months. Cases are opened within 48-hours after receipt of a complaint, and the department maintains an internal goal that cases do not remain open more than 30 days. However, cases involving public nuisances can take more than 30 days to satisfy notification requirements and timelines defined by state law. Citations can be issued when compliance is not met. Only in extreme cases will the City go in and clear the property if the violation presents a public health and safety hazard.
