Full Breakdown
Code Enforcement, Planning and Zoning, or the Health Department can issue a notice of violation for any Chapter 157 violation, from unkept exteriors to prohibited exterior storage. The notice must name the section violated and set a correction deadline of 10 to 60 days. If the property isn't fixed by then, a citation issues under § 157.99, and fines accrue daily from the citation date until the violation is corrected; each section violated is a separate offense with its own deadline and penalty.
Violations & Fines
Citations run through the city's Ordinance Violations Bureau; unpaid or contested fines accumulate daily and can be referred to Fishers City Court or the city's law department for enforcement.
