1. Can I make an anonymous complaint?

Per Farragut Municipal Code Chapter 14. Division 5. Sec.14-76  A complainant must identify themselves to the Town office prior to any action being taken.

2. How does property maintenance code enforcement work?

A complaint is submitted to the Town. It is then reviewed and investigated by code enforcement. If a violation exists, code enforcement will contact the responsible party to remediate the issue. If the issue is not remediated within the time allotted a citation to municipal court is issued where fines up to $50 per day per violation may be assessed.

3. I live in a subdivision with a homeowner association, will the Code Enforcement Division enforce the association’s bylaws, subdivision restrictions, or deed restrictions?

No. If someone in your subdivision is in violation of your association’s bylaws, it is the responsibility of the association to initiate legal action. Town Code Enforcement can only enforce Town ordinances.

4. Are there issues that Property Maintenance Code Enforcement does not address?

• Vehicles or RVs that are legally parked 
• Noise complaints 
• Homes needing paint or landscaping maintenance 
• Ugly fences

5. I reported a complaint weeks ago. Why has nothing been done to the property?

The responsible party must be provided notice that there is an issue. The Town provides them with a reasonable time period to correct the violation. In some cases, code enforcement will grant extensions to complete the work, or if no action is taken to correct the violation a citation to municipal court is issued and the judge will hear the case.  Please rest assured that your complaint is important and is being handled in the most expeditious and appropriate manner.
