Code Enforcement is an extension of the Planning & Inspections Department. Typically code violations involve one or a combination of the following areas:

  • State Building Technical Codes (North Carolina Building, Plumbing, Electrical, Mechanical, Fire Prevention, Fuel Gas, Energy, Existing Buildings, Residential Codes, Accessibility) – A series of codes approved by the State of North Carolina General Assembly and enforced by local jurisdictions per GS 160a-412.

  • Zoning Ordinance – The Wake Forest Zoning Ordinance is authorized by the Wake Forest Board of Commissioners and regulates land use for all properties located within the Corporate limits and the Extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ).

  • Municipal Code – The Wake Forest Code of Ordinances is a collection of all permanent ordinances for the town. It regulates all properties within the town limits.

The Department of Planning & Inspections strives to correct all applicable violations within a timely and effective manner. All violations are promptly addressed in an effort to protect public safety and general welfare. 

Any person wishing to report a violation may do so by completing the Code Complaint Form and returning it the planning department anytime Monday – Friday between the hours of 8am – 5pm.
