Bexar County Code Compliance investigates complaints with initial inspections typically within 5-10 business days. A Notice of Violation is sent by certified mail with a compliance deadline. San Antonio 311 aims to respond within 3-5 business days for routine complaints.
When a complaint is received by Bexar County Code Compliance, an inspection is scheduled and typically conducted within 5-10 business days for routine violations. Emergency situations involving imminent health or safety hazards are prioritized for faster response. If a violation is verified, a Notice of Violation (NOV) is sent by certified mail to the property owner detailing violations found. Compliance deadlines vary from 10 to 30 days depending on severity. Within San Antonio, the 311 system routes complaints to the Development Services Department, with typical initial response times of 3-5 business days for standard violations. High-priority complaints (dangerous buildings, sewage) are expedited for same-day or next-day response.
After the compliance deadline passes, re-inspection occurs. Continued non-compliance can result in citations to county court, daily fines, or abatement by the county with costs billed to the property owner.
