Code Enforcement & Animal Control
Responsibilities
Twin Falls City Council adopted a city code specifically designed to address nuisances. This helps maintain a safe clean environment for all citizens in our community. The City of Twin Falls does this by working in partnership with the people of Twin Falls.
The mission of the code enforcement team is to promote and maintain a safe and desirable living and working environment. We help maintain and improve the quality of life in our community by administering a fair and unbiased compliance program. To correct issues of municipal codes and land use requirements.
An important role of Code Enforcement is also education. Often time's residents and businesses are not aware of a particular regulation. We seek to provide education of ordinances and opportunities to bring a property into compliance.
