Make a Code Enforcement Request

Code Enforcement can help ensure residents and businesses in our community are in compliance with our City's Municipal Code. Code Enforcement can investigate issues like impassable sidewalks, nuisance vegetation, abandoned vehicles, noise complaints, and other local issues, then take educational or corrective action. We can also advise the public and answer questions regarding City code.

All Code Enforcement requests must be submitted by phone for tracking and funding purposes. Submitting a Code Enforcement request by phone does not disrupt emergency services in any way; we use two separate phone lines. To make a Code Enforcement request, please call the non-emergency police dispatch line below during regular business hours, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm Monday through Friday. If you need accommodations or help submitting your request, please email City Hall at webmaster@westlinnoregon.gov

Contact Code Enforcement: (503) 635-0238

Service requests outside of Code Enforcement's responsibilities (see below for examples) may also be submitted via the City of West Linn's official app, West Linn Connect, or online. Other Emergency Contact information is available here.
