ZONING CODE COMPLIANCE
Weld County Zoning Compliance Officers respond to customer complaints, attend work sessions with the Board of
County Commissioners, maintain historical files, perform site inspections, prepare materials for presentation at Board
hearings, work with the Department of Public Health and Environment and attend Planning Commission Hearings for
Land Use applications evolving from violations.
Beginning February 1, 2010, a modification to our computer program (Accela V360) changed the process for initiating
violations. Now a complaint is initiated, an inspection completed and in some cases a courtesy letter is sent before
determining whether an actual violation case is initiated. Approximately 20% of complaint cases are closed without
initiating a violation case. Violation case numbers are now counted differently.
