Waukesha County has no countywide blight ordinance for private property upkeep. Property maintenance, junk, and blight are regulated by your city, village, or town. The county's direct authority covers health hazards, septic, and shoreland, not general blight.
In Wisconsin, general property-maintenance and blight enforcement (peeling paint, junk accumulation, derelict buildings, unsafe structures) sits with the incorporated cities and villages and the towns, not the county. Waukesha County's Public Health division can act on defined "human health hazards," and the county administers shoreland/floodplain and private sewage (POWTS) standards, but it does not run a blanket property-blight code for privately owned lots. Residents in Waukesha, Brookfield, New Berlin, Menomonee Falls, Pewaukee, Oconomowoc and other municipalities should check that municipality's property-maintenance chapter (often adopting the International Property Maintenance Code).
Enforcement, orders, and fines are set by your municipality's property-maintenance code; the county issues no general blight citation.
