CODE ENFORCEMENT

General Information:

Concerned about possible code infractions?

A form is available to alert the City about your complaint. This serves as a formal "Request for Action" by City Administration and/or staff. All complaints will be investigated and those determined to be in violation of Bonney Lake Municipal Code (BLMC) will be processed accordingly.

It is critical that the "Request for Action" form include the property address at which the code infraction(s) is/are occurring and a brief description of the possible infraction.

The "Request for Action" form may be downloaded online from our Forms Page or obtained from the City Hall Annex, Permit Center. Alternatively, a form may be mailed to you by calling our Code Enforcement Officer.

Most frequently filed complaints:

¤ Junk Vehicles:
BLMC 8.12 & 8.28(I) clearly defines and prohibits the parking of junk vehicles within a residential zone.

¤ Noise:

BLMC 9.44 Details the City’s Sign Code. This chapter was recently amended by Ordinance 1240, which has not yet been codified. The Code Enforcer is not responsible for noise complaints, rather it is the jurisdiction of the Police Department. To file a complaint please call Dispatch at (253) 863-6384.

BLMC 8.08.240, BLMC 8.20, BLMC 8.24, BLMC 8.32 & BLMC 8.40 defines conditions that could be cause for code violation and provides methods of abatement.
