Code Enforcement
Sandy Springs Code Enforcement is comprised of sworn officers who work with residents, neighborhood associations, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and other City departments to help maintain safe, healthy, and attractive living and working environments.
Through fair and unbiased enforcement of adopted City Codes and Ordinances, including land use regulations, zoning ordinances, health and housing codes, sign standards, and building and fire codes, the primary objective of Code Enforcement is to achieve compliance.
Sandy Springs Code Enforcement officers wear official uniforms with badges and name tags and can provide an official City-issued identification card with a photo and City logo upon request.
