Code
Compliance Department
In an effort to keep our community attractive and encourage high
property values, continual patrols by Code Compliance personnel are
intended to insure that residents and business owners comply with
codes and ordinances of the Town. At the present time, the Town has
two Code Compliance Officers. They regularly patrol the Town,
research complaints, and enforce building and zoning codes. Code
compliance assistance may be obtained by calling 305-993-1786 or by
e-mail:
codecompliance@bayharborislands.org

rusted through the metal, has missing or broken body parts, has
parts attached with or covered by tape, unrepaired damage over ten
percent (10%) or more of the vehicle, or perhaps is covered with

weekdays from 8:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. and on Saturdays from 8:00

holidays unless special approval is received by the Town Manager

The
Town code requires that all dogs, when not on the premises of
the owner or the person in control of the dog, must be on a leash
under control of a competent person. Furthermore, it is unlawful for
any person in control of any dog to fail to remove fecal matter of
the dog from any public property or any private property not
belonging to the owner or person having custody of the dog.
Trees in Power Lines - Consider the location of trees near
power lines because they will grow into the power lines and cause
power failures. Keep your trees trimmed and if you have a tree
growing into a power line, please contact FPL to have them come out
and trim them.
