Mission Statement

To provide Sparta residents with the highest quality of service and to uphold and enforce codes and standards established to protect the Public Health, Safety and Welfare of all residents, businesses owners and visitors based upon priorities which are consistent with established standards.

Courtesy and professionalism will serve as guiding principles which will permeate the character of the Code Enforcement Officer, thereby ensuring that our determination to deter blight within the Village is tempered with sensitivity and compassion.

Code enforcement is not only re-active, but also pro-active. Re-active enforcement is complaint based, whereas pro-active enforcement is used as an educational mechanism. Pro-active enforcement is used to educate the public on existing ordinances and ordinances that are frequently violated. The Village actively engages in pro-active enforcement as a way to resolve issues without using punitive measures.
