The City of Jackson has adopted the CLEAR APPROACH to Code Enforcement and now utilizes CLEAR TOOLKIT for Code Enforcement activities. The CLEAR TOOLKIT identified four stages of code enforcement that a property may proceed through while the officer is working to resolve an identified issue. Not all cases will proceed through each stage. The officer determines the path based on the circumstances of the property. For more information on the changes to code enforcement please visit https://www.jacksonms.gov/code-services/.

The CLEAR PROCESS for Code Enforcement:

Intake - The public reports a complaint or staff identifies an issue during operations.

Inspect - The case is assigned to an officer who makes an initial inspection within seven days.

Voluntary Compliance - Officer issues notices designed to educate the property owner and gain compliance.

If Voluntary Compliance fails, the Officer may escalate to any of the following:

Court Ordered Compliance

Referral

City-Performed Clean Up
