Welcome to the Department of Code Enforcement!

A Message from Director Rick Powers
Welcome to the Department of Code Enforcement. Our Department is the center of the City’s licensing, permitting, and inspection functions. Our staff is committed to providing efficient assistance-oriented service while enforcing the civil code to improve public safety and enhance the quality of life for the citizens of Indianapolis. As the Department provides responsible government oversight of property use/safety and maintenance, environmental, business, event, professional, and construction                
industries, we remain focused on public education efforts such as “Know the Code” - continuous involvement and partnerships with neighborhood organizations, businesses, and industries to assist the public in avoiding potential violations. Our leadership team also works diligently with the City’s Office of Corporation Counsel and the Courts on implementing enforcement measures for those who refuse to comply. Through enhanced technology and online services, we continue to work to increase convenience and accessibility for those seeking assistance and doing business with the City of Indianapolis.

If you see something, say something! The Mayor’s Action Center is always willing to send your concerns on to us and you may report violations anonymously. You can track our progress on your request via our online services.

We look forward to serving you. If you have any questions or recommendations on how we can better serve you or develop our web services, please contact us using the contact tab below. Together, we will make Indianapolis an even better place to live and work!
