Code Compliance for Economic Development

The June 24, 2026 investigation examines complaint-driven enforcement, fragmented authority, limited staffing and funding, and blight in unincorporated communities. Seven findings and five recommendations address a standing steering committee, risk-based priorities, a DMV vehicle-abatement feasibility study, a rural advisory-council pilot, gauging interest in a parcel assessment tax, and a strategic compliance plan. The report’s no-General-Fund-risk and grant-eligibility statements are jury conclusions, not independently verified fiscal or legal determinations. The Board is named as required respondent for F3–F7/R1–R5; other departments are invited to respond. No current-cycle response is supplied, which does not establish nonresponse. This unchanged 27-page annual original contains the investigation, bibliography and appendices on physical PDF pages 5–24 (printed pages 1–20).
