Tarrant County code enforcement is handled by individual municipalities. In unincorporated areas, complaints go to Tarrant County Development Services. Fort Worth residents use the MyFW app or call 817-392-1234. Arlington uses the Arlington Cares app or 817-459-5474.
Tarrant County does not operate a unified county-wide code enforcement department. Code complaints in unincorporated Tarrant County are directed to the Tarrant County Development Services or the Sheriff's Office depending on the violation type. Within incorporated cities, each municipality has its own reporting system. Fort Worth uses the MyFW mobile app and online portal for code compliance reports, plus a phone line at 817-392-1234. Arlington residents report via the Arlington Cares app or by calling 817-459-5474. Grapevine, Keller, Mansfield, and other cities each maintain their own code compliance divisions. Common reportable violations include tall grass and weeds, junk vehicles, illegal dumping, substandard structures, and zoning violations.
In Fort Worth, failure to comply with a code notice can result in fines of $500-$2,000 per day per violation. Arlington imposes fines up to $2,000 per violation per day. Unincorporated area violations are handled through county court.
