Code Enforcement
Code Enforcement is the part of the City that works with residents and businesses of Dayton to promote awareness and encourage compliance of the Municipal Code. Our focus is to help residents identify possible code compliance issues and to help assist in solutions to correct those issues.
Code Enforcement Services are located in Dayton City Hall, and are available to serve you from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday (closed 12:00-1:00 p.m.). Code Enforcement is a resource to help you resolve code violations in your neighborhood. To report Code Violations contact the City of Dayton at 503-864-2221, or fill out this form online.

Citation: When the responsible party does not voluntarily correct the code violation, a Code Violation Citation can be issued by either the Code Enforcement Officer or by a Yamhill County Deputy. Fine Amounts are as follows:
Nuisance Abatement: If the nuisance continues to go uncorrected then the City may choose to abate the nuisance. Abatement begins with a notice that is posted on the property where the nuisance exists. The notices will direct the property owner or person responsible for the nuisance to correct the nuisance. If the property owner or responsible party does not correct the problem within the time specified on the notice the City will correct the problem and bill the responsible party for the costs. Liens may be placed upon real property to secure repayment to the taxpayers for the costs expended by the City to abate the nuisance.
