Summary

Eagle Mountain's enforcement officer investigates suspected code violations and, before any penalty accrues, must issue a written notice of violation naming the property, the code sections broken, and at least 10 days to fix the problem under EMMC 4.10.010 and 4.10.020. Residents flag violations to the code enforcement office, which then follows this notice-and-cure procedure.

Any condition caused, maintained, or permitted to exist in violation of any provisions of the city code or applicable state codes that constitutes a violation may be abated by the city pursuant to the procedures set forth in this chapter. ... Whenever the enforcement officer determines that a violation of the city code or applicable state codes has occurred or continues to exist, the enforcement officer may choose to proceed under the administrative abatement procedures. If this procedure is used, a notice of violation shall be issued to a responsible person.

Full Breakdown

010 gives the city's enforcement officer authority to abate any condition that violates the city code or an applicable state code. 020 lets the officer proceed through the administrative abatement track rather than straight to criminal prosecution. That starts with a written notice of violation served on the responsible person, and the code spells out exactly what the notice must contain: the property owner's name, the street address, the date the violation was observed, every code section violated and a description of the offending condition, the remedial action required (which can include repairs, demolition, or removal), and a compliance deadline of at least 10 days from service.

The notice must also explain the consequences of missing that deadline, which can include criminal prosecution, civil penalties, permit revocation, recording the notice against the property, and withholding future municipal permits, and it must disclose that civil penalties begin accruing immediately once the deadline passes and continue to accrue daily until the property is brought into compliance. A responsible person has 10 calendar days from service to file a written request for an administrative code enforcement hearing with the administrative law judge, and failing to request a hearing waives the right to challenge the notice.

Only one notice of violation is required per 12-month period for the same condition, except that weed-related violations only need one notice per annual growing season. 120.

Violations & Fines

If the property isn't fixed by the notice's deadline, civil penalties accrue daily under EMMC 4.10.030 at the rate set in the city's consolidated fee schedule, per EMMC 4.10.140. The responsible person must request a reinspection once compliant; until that inspection happens, EMMC 4.10.040 treats the violation as presumed ongoing, and reinspection fees apply if more than one visit is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I report a code violation in Eagle Mountain?
Report the address and the condition to the city's code enforcement office, which assigns an enforcement officer to investigate. If the officer confirms a violation of the city code or a state code, EMMC 4.10.020 requires a written notice of violation identifying the property, the sections violated, and at least 10 days to correct it before penalties start.
What must the notice of violation include?
Under EMMC 4.10.020, the notice must list the owner's name, street address, date observed, the code sections violated, the remedial action required, a correction deadline of at least 10 days, the consequences of missing it, and the daily civil penalty amount that starts accruing once that deadline passes.
Can I appeal a notice of violation in Eagle Mountain?
Yes. EMMC 4.10.020 gives the responsible person 10 calendar days from service to file a written hearing request with the administrative law judge, stating the case number, address and signature. Missing that window waives the right to a hearing and to challenge the notice, per the same section.
