The City Zoning Office and Codes Enforcement Division is tasked with the enforcement of Clinton City codes and regulations in order to improve the quality of life in our community.
Clinton City codes and ordinances exist to protect property values, citizen’s rights, neighborhood aesthetics, public safety, as well as to prevent the accumulation of materials that could pose fire, safety or health hazards.

Building permit applicants and others should be sure to read Ordinance 630. This ordinance is to replace chapters adopting 2018 Fire and Building Codes in the City of Clinton Municple Code.
