Code Enforcement
Code Enforcement is responsible for investigating environmental hazards, floodplain violations, and unpermitted/un-operational septic systems, within the unincorporated area of Guadalupe County. Code enforcement investigates nuisance violations, unsafe/unsecure buildings, and violations of any fire, health, or public safety concerns. Violations can be on public and/or private property. Code enforcement also enforces both County orders, local and State laws, but does not enforce deed restrictions or HOA rules.
Fees
Fees are collected for reviews, inspections and copies to offset actual expenses. All fees subject to change without notice.
