VOL. 35 / ISSUE 4 CODE COMPLIANCE FAQS Our neighborhoods are just part of what makes our coastal community so charming. Whether you’re renovating your house or walking your dog, make sure to abide by our Town Code to avoid a code compliance violation. How can I avoid a code violation? Ensuring your house complies with the Town’s Code is simple. In general, your yard should be kept free of trash and debris including bulk trash, items that are typically stored indoors (like refrigerators), and building materials. We recommend checking the outside of your house periodically to make sure your house is weather-tight, rodent-proof, and in sound condition, otherwise, you may receive a violation. Prior to renovating the interior or exterior of your house, don’t forget to submit a work permit to our Building Department for approval. What are some ways I can avoid a violation around town? As you enjoy exploring our town, please remember to throw away any trash, clean up after your pup, and refrain from posting signs in medians, on street polls, and in the public right-of-way. For more information on common code violations, please visit https://bit.ly/LBTSCodeCompliance. A WARM WELCOME WHO YA GONNA CALL… THE TO TOWN PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT!
