The City of Lincoln's Code Enforcement Division promotes health and safety for the residents of Lincoln. We maintain the quality of our community through partnerships, education, and enforcement. We work with residents, neighborhood associations, public service agencies, and city departments. Code Enforcement staff apply the Lincoln Municipal Code (LMC) to address nuisances.
Code Enforcement is defined by Penal Code section 829.5 as someone employed by a governmental agency:

Code Enforcement is limited to enforcement of Lincoln Municipal Code Violations only. Please contact the Lincoln Police Department at (916) 645-4040 for all non-Lincoln Municipal Code issues, including the following:
A code enforcement officer is defined by Penal Code section 829.5 as “any person…who is employed by any governmental subdivision, public or quasi-public corporation, public agency, public service corporation, any town, city, county, or municipal corporation, whether incorporated or chartered, who has enforcement authority for health, safety, and welfare requirements, whose duties include enforcement of any statute, rule, regulation, or standard, and who is authorized to issue citations, or file formal complaints.”
