Smyrna marshals enforce two sets of property maintenance codes. These include the Smyrna City Code of Ordinances and the 2006 International Property Maintenance Code, also known as the Smyrna Property Maintenance Code (PDF), which was adopted by the Smyrna City Council in 2010 as a supplement to the City Code.
Smyrna first sends a warning letter to the owner or renter of the property in question. If the code violation(s) are not promptly addressed, the owner or renter is issued a formal citation and must appear in court. Failure to respond to the citation may result in a fine, imprisonment or both.
Concerned citizens and property owners can call Code Enforcement directly at 678-631-5387. Complaints can also be made through the City's online system referred to as the Non-Emergency Request option (link available on the Code Violation (Reporting Options) page) or emailed to codeenforcement@smyrnaga.gov .
