Mission Statement
The mission of the Code Enforcement Department is to serve the citizens of the Town of Capon Bridge by ensuring compliance of all adopted Town codes and ordinances. Fair, equitable, and unbiased inspections/investigations will be our highest priority when it comes to maintaining standards for safe living and business operations, thereby protecting property, owner's rights, and the quality of life for all residents.
What We Do
Code enforcement activities by the Town of Capon Bridge are intended to identify properties and buildings that are lacking proper maintenance or sanitation, and to cause violations to be corrected.
The International Property Maintenance Code as well as applicable sections of the Town of Capon Bridge Codified Ordinances are enforced by the Code Enforcement Official. The intent of these codes is to provide minimum requirements and standards for properties, structures, and equipment as needed to ensure public health, safety and welfare.
The Code Enforcement Official routinely reviews the neighborhoods throughout the Town Limits, as well as responds to complaints. When a violation is confirmed by the Code Enforcement Official, a notice of violation is issued to the owner (or other responsible party) requiring corrections to be done within a stipulated time in order to avoid being summoned into municipal court for possible fines.
Properties with code violations are subject to several levels of abating the threat to public health and safety. In addition to remedies available through the court system, the Town may consider condemnation, demolition and filing liens.
Residents within the Town limits who wish to report a property maintenance code violation may call the Code Enforcement Office at (304) 856-3625. Additionally, you can
report a violation via online form here. Please include the street address and description of the violation.
