The Pacific County Code Enforcement Program/Officer investigates and resolves solid waste violations, such as illegal dump sites, vehicle abatement, garbage, or noise complaints.  This program serves all unincorporated Pacific County and all incorporated cities within Pacific County.  This part of the program is complaint-based and relies on the public to report such nuisances.  Many of the complaints can be resolved quickly and no further action is needed.  A few, however, do require follow-up and can result in court action and fines if the the problem is not resolved in a timely manner.

The complaints often involve personal property on private land which makes the owners sensitive to what they perceive as overregulated and infringement on their rights.  What they do not understand are the possible health hazards related to an illegal garbage dump that could possibly contaminate nearby water sources, or the piles of cars that are home to rats that may carry disease.
