Most property owners in Sycamore Township take great pride in maintaining their properties. However, there are times when a property may be in violation of the International Property Maintenance Code and / or the Sycamore Township Zoning Resolution and actions need to take place. When you find a property you think may be in violation, the Sycamore Township Planning and Zoning Department may be able to help if a nuisance exists.
To report a complaint, CLICK HERE. Once a complaint is received, an investigation will be conducted by our inspector within ten (10) business days, unless prevented by reasons beyond our control. Should the investigation find that the property is in fact in violation, the property owner(s) and/or occupant(s) will be sent a notice alerting them to the problem(s) and giving time to abate the conditions. The majority of these issues are resolved by the property owner within the allotted time. However, if the nuisance persists, the Township does have the authority to cite property owners to Court and/or declare the property a nuisance and abate the condition(s).
