Code Enforcement Awareness Outreach

The City of Kyle maintains rules and regulations designed to ensure safe and attractive neighborhoods.  The City of Kyle Code Enforcement Division works to ensure that the provisions of the City’s municipal code are followed by enforcing these rules and regulations.  By doing so will help preserve the safety and welfare of residents, maintain property values, deter luring criminal activity, and reduce the habitual spreading of further city ordinance violations.

Code Enforcement will be concentrating its efforts in certain subdivisions at a time, addressing city ordinance violations in an effort to provide those services listed above.  Please help spread the word within your neighborhood to correct any of these issues.
