Orange County code enforcement complaints
County desk or city desk. We sort it.
Unincorporated Orange goes to Orange County Code Compliance. Inside its 13 cities and towns, the local government’s own code office takes the complaint.
SNITCH is a private filing service, not the County. We file as complainant of record. Your name stays off the complaint.
Compliant with Florida SB 60.
Filed with the Orange desk that owns the address, under our name.
Fear of Retaliation
Orange County puts it this way: “In order to investigate potential violations of codes and ordinances, the person making the complaint must provide his or her name and address.” File it yourself and that record is public under Chapter 119.
Who Handles It
Unincorporated Orange: Orange County Code Compliance. Inside city limits: that city’s code office, including Apopka, Ocoee, Orlando, Winter Garden, and Winter Park. 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.
"SNITCH cuts through red tape—handling your code complaints professionally, safely, and always in compliance with Florida law.
- Chaz Stevens, Chief Snitch
We file the real ones.
We reject the rest.
County or city code. Not a grudge.
Every submission is checked against the Orange County code, including Chapter 11, Code Enforcement, or the city code when a city owns the address. Hearsay, neighbor wars, and junk filings do not go out. A false complaint is on the client.
Issues Orange County highlights: short-term vacation rentals, signs in the right-of-way, neglected swimming pools, and grass over 18 inches and debris.
FL SB 60
Orange County code complaints, city or county
SB 60 DID NOT END ORANGE COUNTY COMPLAINTS
Florida law requires a name and address before most code investigations start, at the county and in every Orange city. File direct and that name is public. SNITCH files as complainant of record.
Compliant filing. Our name on the paper.
See something. File it without becoming the file.
