Code Compliance

About Code Compliance

The San Diego County Code Compliance team provides services to residents in the unincorporated communities of San Diego County which ensure safe, sustainable communities and preservation of our natural resources. They respond to requests from residents to investigate concerns and educate the public about County Codes in order to gain voluntary compliance.
