City of Eupora

Code Enforcement Overview

The Code Enforcement Division for the City of Eupora is tasked with protecting the public health, safety, and welfare of residents and property owners by identifying, inspecting, and requesting the correction of violations within the City Limits.

The Code Enforcement Division is a branch of the Department of Public Works and is responsible for the enforcement of the City’s Code of Ordinances.

Code Enforcement Officers identify violations of the City's Code of Ordinances by routinely checking residential and business areas, as well as responding to complaints from citizens and other city departments.

Code Enforcement Officers attempt to work with violators by issuing a Compliance Order stating a time to correct the violation. If not corrected within the time frame stated in the Compliance Order, a citation will be issued and further action will be turned over to the Municipal Court for a hearing. The Judge, upon hearing the case, may issue a judgment that can result in fines, assessments, and additional fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please contact Eupora City Hall if you cannot find an answer to your question.

If I file a complaint about a particular property or person does my name become a public record?

In most cases, your identity will be protected under the Freedom of Information Law; however, should a matter go to court the information could be divulged under a subpoena or discovery.

My neighbor’s tree hangs over my fence into my yard. I am afraid that a tree limb will fall into my yard and cause damage. Who can I call at the town hall to help me?

You should discuss this with your neighbor or consult an attorney, as this is a private legal dispute and the municipality has no control or jurisdiction.

As a homeowner or tenant, how do I find out what I can do on my property?

Before you do anything, call the Building Department at (662) 258-2291 to see whether you are permitted to do what you want to do! In addition, alterations and repairs to your home often require permits. Homes in the City of Eupora Historic District may have additional restrictions and require an approved Certificate of Appropriateness before renovations or alterations are made.

Can I park my car in the front yard?

No. No automobile may be parked in the front yard or lawn area. Parking is allowed on paved or gravel drives, or along the city street, facing the direction of travel.

I own the property. Don’t I have a right to dump what I want on my on property?

NO. Dumping, even on your property, or storage of waste upon your property is unlawful. It affects neighboring properties and the community. It lowers property values, breeds vermin, is unsightly, is a hazard, and is against State laws
