🌟 City Launches Code Compliance Connects 🌟


Fort Worth’s new Code Compliance Connects program is all about neighbors helping neighbors! 💛 We are seeking volunteers to step up and support residents, especially seniors, those with disabilities, or families with limited resources, with tasks like:


✅ Lawn care & brush removal
✅ Minor fence repairs
✅ Painting & graffiti removal
✅ Tree & bush trimming
✅ General exterior upkeep


With the help of local businesses, churches, civic groups, and individual volunteers, we’re building stronger, safer neighborhoods together.


🙌 We’re seeking both volunteers ready to lend a hand and residents who could use a little help.


👉 Visit the Code Connects web page to learn more and get involved!

Neighbors helping neighbors, the Fort Worth way. Code Compliance Connects pairs residents with volunteers who provide free help to address potential code violations.

Here’s a glimpse of our Code Officers in action, removing illegal bandit signs from Fort Worth streets. 🚫


These signs, along with signs advertising quick-cash deals or “We Buy Houses” are banned on medians, sidewalks, and utility poles because they, create visual clutter and distract drivers, are unattractive, and even sometimes promote scams


📞 If you spot a bandit sign, call 817-392-1234 or file a report online.
Please don’t remove them yourself, our officers are trained to handle it safely.


Together, we can keep Fort Worth looking clean, safe, and welcoming!

❤️ We’re gearing up for the Heart Walk on September 20! To prepare, our Code Compliance team held a fundraiser with elotes, lemonade, and hearts to honor loved ones. Our goal was $500, but together we surpassed it, raising a total of $840! Every donation brings us closer to our mission, and we had a blast doing it. Thank you to everyone who supported this cause. ❤️

Code Compliance Comeback 🚗➡️✨


Abandoned and junked vehicles aren’t just an eyesore, they can be a real safety hazard.


Earlier this year, Code Officers identified a wrecked and inoperable vehicle on private property. After proper notifications and hearings, the municipal court issued an order for removal. The vehicle was towed to the City’s impound lot, helping restore the neighborhood to a cleaner, safer, and more welcoming place.


Big thanks to our Code team for keeping Fort Worth beautiful and safe! 💛

Code Compliance Comeback 🌿🏡


This case began with a citizen complaint and was headed to the Building Standards Commission. But thanks to teamwork, the owners took the lead and cleaned up their own property! Because of their efforts, the case was withdrawn, and the neighborhood is now a safer, cleaner place to live.


👏 Big thanks to our Code Officers and the property owners for making this positive change happen!

Code Compliance Comeback 🌿🏡

This case started as a citizen complaint, but through communication and teamwork, the property owner cleaned up the violations themselves. The result? A cleaner, safer, and more attractive neighborhood. 💪✨

We’re proud to share a example of voluntary compliance that shows the power of working together for stronger communities!

Code Compliance Comeback 🗑️➡️🏡
This property was previously piled with trash, old furniture, appliances, and tires. These items can pose serious health hazards. Work began in March, and by June, the property was clean and safe thanks to the teamwork between our Code Officers and the community.

🛠️✨ Tool Shed Spotlight: Suri
Suri is a Tool Shed "frequent flyer", which is why her before-and-after transformation is a subtle one, she's been keeping her yard in great shape! 🌿
Our Code team stopped by her house to check in this week. Suri says "the Tool Shed is awesome, I recently moved here and don’t have the equipment to maintain the yard, so this program really works for me.”
We’re so glad the Tool Shed can help neighbors like Suri keep their yards looking their best.
