Code Enforcement

About Code Enforcement

The Code Enforcement department ensures the City of Boerne is home to safe, high-quality residential and commercial buildings that are well-constructed, well-maintained, and in compliance with all ordinances as adopted by City Council.

Code Enforcement staff process contractor registration and permit applications, check for compliance of all ordinances and codes, and inspect all construction work in the City of Boerne. The primary role of this office is to eliminate hazards that could affect public safety. While Code Enforcement officers can issue citations, our goal is for problems to be remedied by the property owner.
