Private Property Complaints - Rural, Residential, and Commercial/Industrial
The Code Enforcement Unit investigates private property city ordinance violations within
the community. Numerous complaints are received yearly concerning violations such as
nuisances, outdoor storage, parking of motor vehicles and recreational vehicles, sign
placement within the city, accessory building locations, fence regulations, animal
control, and many other miscellaneous concerns. Property owners are notified and
required to comply to city ordinance requirements within a designated time frame.

Alarm Use
The
Code Enforcement Unit monitors the compliance of the Savage Alarm
Ordinance relating to the number of false alarms for alarm users. Because the vast
majority of alarms that the police respond to are caused by user error, alarm users
are charged for false alarms. Alarm calls are reviewed quarterly, and notification is sent
to alarm users that have had false alarm calls to their residence or business. Each calendar
year users are allowed 3 false alarms and then will be charged a $50 fee for
each additional false alarm. The fees are not designed to be punitive, but to insure
that alarm owners are responsible and that they properly train their families and guests.
Animal Control
The
City of Savage contracts with 4-Paws Animal Control to enforce the Citys Animal Ordinance.
The Code Enforcement Officer reviews and records calls to 4-Paws Animal Control which pertain
to animals at large and found animals. This is done in order to link calls or complaints to properties
where the animals reside. This helps in the enforcement of the city ordinance and a tracking record
of repeat violations.
