Jacksonville Beach code enforcement complaints
Beach-city desk. Not Jacksonville.
Inside city limits, Jacksonville Beach code complaints go to the City’s Code Enforcement Division in the Planning and Development Department.
SNITCH is a private filing service, not the City. We file as complainant of record. Your name stays off the complaint.
Compliant with Florida SB 60.
Filed with Jacksonville Beach Code Enforcement under our name.
Fear of Retaliation
Jacksonville Beach puts it this way: “Effective July 1, 2021: A person who reports a potential violation of a code or an ordinance must provide his or her name and address.” File it yourself and that record is public under Chapter 119.
Who Handles It
Inside Jacksonville Beach: Jacksonville Beach Code Enforcement. The rest of Duval: the consolidated City of Jacksonville’s Municipal Code Compliance Division. The address decides.
Agent Filing Rules
We file under our name with the desk that owns the address. If that shop bounces a third-party complainant, that filing does not sit there.
