Code Enforcement
Lantana's Code of Ordinances provides standards of housing, safety, sanitation, and other important elements for our community. Keeping our town safe and clean, with well-maintained and desirable properties, helps to increase the desirability of the community, as well as property values. The Code Enforcement Division is responsible for ensuring that the residences, properties and businesses in the Town of Lantana comply with the code. A Code Enforcement Officer can either initiate a code violation action based upon their own observation or in response to a citizen complaint. In addition, Chapter 162, Florida Statutes, authorizes municipalities to impose fines and non-criminal penalties for violations of the Town's code.
