Loveland, CO Code Violation Reporting: Response Times (2026)

030, an enforcement officer can open a case after receiving a complaint or personally witnessing a violation; the complainant must identify the location, concern, and duration of the offense, and a record or incident report is kept of the complaint and investigation. The officer's Notice and Order to Abate must state that a complaint was received or a violation observed, give the date of the alleged violation, and cite the Title 16, 15, or 18 section violated, along with the possible penalties. The complainant's identity is kept confidential until a violation is formally charged into Loveland Municipal Court by summons and complaint; before that, the officer may still require the complainant to sign an affidavit or verify the allegations in writing.

020 sets the response clock by violation type: 24 hours for a health hazard or an unsanitary condition; 72 hours for other Accumulations of Waste Material designations; ten days for Refuse and Rubbish or Weed Control; 15 days for abandoned property other than motor vehicles, graffiti, unlawful vehicles, shrubs, or other nuisances; and 30 days for trees. If a notice lists multiple violations with different deadlines, the least restrictive deadline applies to all of them unless one is a health hazard, which stays at 24 hours regardless.
