The City of Fort Worth created the Environmental Control Division in 1982 to inspect properties within the city in an effort to ensure a safe, sanitary, and clean environment.  The creation of the Division centralized inspections that were previously conducted by the Housing Standard Division, the Health Department, and the Department of Development.  In 1986, the name of the Division was changed to the Code Compliance Division, in part to better describe the

functions of the Division.  At the same time, authorization was given to enforce specific city ordinances related to dangerous or substandard buildings, zoning laws, and health issues pertaining to the environment.  Further, the Division was authorized to pursue criminal and civil remedies to abate nuisances within Fort Worth.

Code Compliance Officers perform inspections and investigate complaints concerning dangerous buildings, substandard structures, junked motor vehicles, vehicles illegally parked in front and side yards, excessively high grass and weeds, accumulations of trash and debris, miscellaneous animal related violations, illegal dumping, zoning violations, and other general nuisance related violations
