Code Enforcement investigates suspected code and zoning violations in Baltimore County. Issues range from trash and debris to tall grass and weeds to grading complaints and beyond. Here’s a review of the process for filing a complaint with code enforcement:
1. Visit www.baltimorecountymd.gov/codecomplaint.
2. Under the File a Complaint Online heading, select the type of complaint you’d like to submit. You will then be taken directly to the Code Enforcement Complaint form.
3. Read and agree to the terms of service.
4. Fill in the fields to file your complaint.
• Provide an exact address of the complaint if possible. If you don’t know the exact address, provide the street name and an approximate number.
• You must provide a description of the complaint. More detail is better.
• You may provide your contact information or file anonymously. If you provide an email address, you will be notified at each step as your complaint moves through the tracking system. Your contact information and email address will be available only to County personnel and is not visible to others using the website.
5. When you submit your complaint, it is automatically entered into the tracking system. In most cases, it will be investigated within a few days.
How to Follow Up on Your Complaint
1. Visit www.baltimorecountymd.gov/codecomplaint.
2. At the bottom of the page, look for the Check Complaint Status heading and select “Check the status.”
