About Code Enforcement

The goal of the Code Enforcement Division is to obtain voluntary compliance with the regulatory provisions set forth in the Rocklin City Municipal Code. The goal is not to punish the responsible parties in violation but to achieve compliance with City Code and associated laws. The division recognizes the need and importance of maintaining the quality of life and protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the public as well as maintaining property values throughout the community.

In order to be successful, we encourage voluntary compliance, the division provides residents, visitors, and business owner’s sufficient notice, information, and a reasonable amount of time to comply. However, in turn, it takes cooperation, and when property owners, residents, and business owners fail to correct violations as required, the division must impose corrective actions to achieve compliance. The division will always maintain the following goals when investigating or enforcing:

• Educate the public about the City’s codes and ordinances and to obtain voluntary compliance.
• Strive to perform our duties in a fair, professional and courteous manner.
• Protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public.
• Assist in development of standards and ordinances that ensure positive effects on property value, community appearance, and neighborhood sustainability.
• Establish and maintain a proactive environment to help solve community problems and stay at the forefront of creative and effective code enforcement.
