Cedar Hill code complaints can be filed via the city's online request system, by phone to Code Enforcement, or in person at City Hall. Anonymous reports accepted.
Cedar Hill residents can report suspected code violations through several channels: the city's online service request portal on cedarhilltx.com, by phone to Code Enforcement (typically reached through the main city number 972-291-5100), by email, or in person at City Hall (285 Uptown Boulevard, Building 100). Anonymous reports are accepted, though providing contact information allows officers to follow up. Useful information includes the address of the property, description of the violation, photos when possible, and the date/time observed. For active code emergencies (sewage, structural collapse, immediate hazards) call non-emergency police 972-291-5181. After-hours and weekend complaints are routed for next-business-day inspection unless a true emergency.
