Code Enforcement - Property Maintenance - Zoning Enforcement

The City of Sharonville is a great place to live because most Sharonville residents and businesses take great pride in their homes, neighborhoods and places of business.  However, sometimes these collective efforts are negatively impacted by properties that fall into disrepair, high weeds and grass, garbage and debris accumulation and abandoned or junk vehicles.   The City of Sharonville enforces the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) and the Sharonville Zoning Ordinance to make sure Sharonville remains a desirable residential and business community.

Process

Once a potential violation is reported, it is added to the list for upcoming inspection to determine if any potential code violations exist.  If a violation is found, a written Courtesy Letter or Zoning/Property Maintenance Violation Enforcement Notice is issued to the owner of the property with a time limit to remedy the situation. After the time limit has passed, a follow up inspection is performed to determine if the initial violation still exists. If on the compliance date the violation is addressed the case is closed.  The case is also closed if the owner is found to have addressed the violation prior to the compliance date. Expected compliance times for code violations may be found here.

If the violation is not addressed by the compliance date and there are no extenuating circumstances, the City can initiate legal action against the owner of the property through the Sharonville Mayor’s Court.

Appeals and Variances

Appeals of Violation Enforcement Notices may be filed, for cases that remain open or outstanding, in accordance with Sharonville Zoning Ordinance 1129.13 within 30 days of receipt of notice.

Appeals and/or Variance Applications associated with code enforcement cases must be submitted by the compliance deadline on the Courtesy Letter or Violation Enforcement Notice.
