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.

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.
