Winter Garden code enforcement complaints

City desk. Not Orange County.

Inside city limits, Winter Garden code complaints go to the City’s Code Enforcement Division in the Community 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 Winter Garden Code Enforcement under our name.

Fear of Retaliation

Winter Garden puts it this way: “Please be sure to provide your name and address when filing a complaint with Code Compliance.” File it yourself and that record is public under Chapter 119.

Who Handles It

Inside Winter Garden: Winter Garden Code Enforcement. Unincorporated Orange: Orange County Code Compliance. Other cities run their own desks.

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.

How It Works

Address first. Winter Garden or Orange County second. Then we file.
How This Works

"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.

Report Abuse

City code. Not a grudge.

Every submission is checked against the Winter Garden code, including Chapter 2, Article II, Code Enforcement. Hearsay, neighbor wars, and junk filings do not go out. A false complaint is on the client.

Issues Winter Garden highlights: inoperable vehicles parked illegally, lawns not mowed (18-inch overgrowth), junk and trash removal, and RVs and boats must be parked behind the house.


FL SB 60

Why It Matters

SB 60 DID NOT END WINTER GARDEN COMPLAINTS

Florida law requires a name and address before most code investigations start. File direct with Winter Garden Code Enforcement 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.

Who handles code enforcement in Winter Garden?

The City of Winter Garden Code Enforcement Division, part of the Community Development Department. Call (407) 877-5136. Online, use Online service request portal / Mobile Citizen app.

Is my address Winter Garden or Orange County?

Winter Garden handles addresses inside its city limits. Unincorporated Orange goes to Orange County Code Compliance at 311 or (407) 836-3111. A Winter Garden mailing address is not always inside the city.

Where can I park an RV or boat in Winter Garden?

Can I report a code violation in Winter Garden anonymously?

Not to the city. Winter Garden says: “Please be sure to provide your name and address when filing a complaint with Code Compliance.” SNITCH is not anonymous either: we file under our own name as complainant of record, so yours stays off the complaint.

What happens if a violation is not fixed?

Unresolved Winter Garden code cases go before the Code Enforcement Board. The Code Enforcement Board meets the 1st Tuesday of each month at 6:15 p.m. in City Hall Commission Chambers, 300 W. Plant St.
