The City of Sioux Falls Attorney’s Office welcomes you to the Code Enforcement Citations website. You will be able to access a list of citations for code violations issued by our code enforcement officer or environment health specialist(s) in the city limits of Sioux Falls. This list covers a one year time frame and is updated daily. Typically, citations are issued following notice and based upon nuisance conditions present at a particular address at the time of the City’s inspection. Code enforcement citations are issued by the City of Sioux Falls in order to assist with efforts to gain voluntary compliance from property owners with the Revised Ordinances of Sioux Falls, as well as state statutes and other codes. It is important to remember that code enforcement is primarily complaint based. Therefore, if persons observe potential code violations in the city they should make a point to contact the appropriate City Department or, if not sure which City Department to contact, persons should feel free to contact the City’s Code Enforcement Officer at 367-8613.

Tips for Searching the List
Upon first view, you will see the list of citations sorted chronologically. You have the ability to search this list by name or address. Entering the least amount of information in the search query box will yield the best results. For example, if you know the individual’s name, type in just the last name or the first few letters of the last name, if unsure of spelling, as your search query. If you know an address, try entering just the house number in your query.
