City of Farmers Branch Code Enforcement

Hello! The Code Enforcement Division has received your request. We're responding to let you know that our office already has an active code case on the property you referenced. The request you filed will be marked as complete, but a Code Enforcement case is open and a Code Enforcement Officer is actively working to address all violations on the property until they are corrected.

Please be advised that the law requires residents receive official notice and due process during enforcement proceedings, so you might not see immediate results. See below for a breakdown of the typical code case timeline (be advised that this does not apply to all cases).

The Typical Code Case Timeline for a First-Time Offense

Step 1: Two-Day Warning
Step 2: Ten-Day Notice of Violation Issued
Step 3: Citation Issued
The offender is scheduled for court in about 2 weeks
Step 4: City Abatement
The City corrects the issue within three working days (when allowed by law)

The entire process for a first-time offender can take about 20-30 days. The process is slightly shorter for repeat offenders.
