How Do I File a Complaint With The Code Compliance Division?

What Do I Do Next?

The County's new Code Compliance Division merges the Code Enforcement services previously housed in the Planning Division with the enforcement services of the Building and Safety Division. You may file a complaint with the County Code Compliance Division in any of the following ways:

  • Fax your signed Complaint Form to (805) 654-5177;
  • Mail your signed Complaint Form to County of Ventura Code Compliance Division, 800 S. Victoria Ave, L#1750 Ventura, CA 93009;
  • Drop off your signed Complaint Form at the Code Compliance Division weekdays between 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. or
  • E-mail your electronic Complaint Form from the link below.

Complainants should provide as much information as possible in the written complaints.  The more information County staff has to work with, the more readily the matter can be addressed.  Complainants may add supplemental pages to the basic complaint form, and include pictures, diagrams of the site, and/or logs of dates and times when the alleged violation(s) occurred.

It is important that complainants provide their name, mailing address, and phone numbers so Condition Compliance staff can contact them if there are questions about their complaint.  Code Compliance Officers do not call complainants with regular status reports, but they do provide complainants with “blind” copies of correspondence sent to the offending party.

If you have any questions please contact Janet Falat at 654-2456 or Janet.Falat@ventura.org.
