The code enforcement/building department covers a number of areas that affect the everyday lives of the residents of Pevely. Whether it is a new home in a new subdivision, or an existing home in “Old Town,” the department oversees all construction activities to ensure proper compliance with the building codes adopted by the Board of Aldermen.

Code enforcement oversight covers new building construction, storm water detention, soil compaction, solid waste complaints, high weeds, zoning issues, and much more.

The department works closely with homeowners, subdivision developers, realtors, federal and state agencies, police and fire districts, county departments, citizen representatives, and others, to ensure a safe and healthy living environment.
