Code Compliance

The City of Highland Park’s Code Compliance program is designed to promote building and safety standards for new construction, property improvements, and overall property maintenance.  The Building Division’s goal is to educate, assess, and, when necessary, enforce these standards through our permitting and inspection services.  This information is intended to provide a general overview and address the most frequently asked compliance questions.
