Lynn Haven Code Enforcement enforces a nuisance abatement program under Chapter 26 (Environment) of the Code and Chapter 2 Article III (Special Magistrate). Common violations include overgrown grass, junk accumulation, derelict structures, and graffiti.
Lynn Haven's Code Enforcement Department (codeenforcement@cityoflynnhaven.com, 850-740-8633) responds to complaints about overgrown vegetation, accumulated junk, derelict or unsafe structures, and other blight under Chapter 26 of the Code.
