Spring Hill, TN Code Violation Reporting: Common Violations (2026)

Section 13-103 is the working list of violations. Stagnant water that is not treated against mosquito breeding is unlawful under subsection (A). Dense smoke, soot, cinders, noxious acids, fumes, dust or gases that endanger the health, comfort and safety of the public, or injure property or business, are unlawful under subsection (B). Subsection (D) requires prompt burial of a dead animal not intended for food, or notice to the Health Officer. Subsection (E) bars parking, locating or occupying a house trailer or portable building without code-compliant plumbing, electrical, sanitary and building features, zoning conformity and a City Recorder permit.

Subsection (F), the storage rule, names dilapidated furniture, appliances, cleaning products, unused landscaping materials, paint or chemical products, machinery, equipment, building materials, construction materials and tools, automobile parts and tires. It reaches items in a wholly or partially rusted, wrecked, junked, dismantled or inoperative condition kept on or adjacent to property or in any public roadway or alleyway when they are not completely enclosed within a building, dwelling or opaque fencing or screening and are visible from a public roadway, residence, parking lot, empty lot, school, city park or gathering area.

Beyond Section 13-103, the Property Maintenance Code adopted in § 13-101 sets a twelve-inch height in § 13-102(C) for IPMC Section 302.4, and § 13-105 makes any failure to comply with it unlawful. The code official serves a notice that gives ten days to remedy, with extensions at the official's judgment. Junkyards face their own rule in § 13-201, where each day after notification by the Health Officer is a separate offense.
