The Mayor or Chief Administrative Officer of the City may appoint City employees to serve as code enforcement officers within the Development Services Department. Code enforcement officers shall have the authority to enforce violations of the Provo City Code and other City ordinances which do not pose an imminent threat to life or property. Code enforcement officers shall have discretion to issue notices of violation to persons who violate any portion of the Provo City Code or other Provo City ordinances, to notify them of the violation, and to require that they repair, fix or otherwise correct the violation within a reasonable period of time. If the violation has been corrected, the notice of violation may be dismissed by the code enforcement officer. If the violation has not been corrected within the required period of time, the code enforcement officer may refer the matter to the City Attorney’s Office for formal civil and/or criminal legal proceedings, as provided in Sections 1.03.010 and 14.42.010, Provo City Code.
