Our staff understands the impacts local businesses endure from trespassing, damaged property, encampments, or nuisances.  Though Victorville is not immune to the issues of  homelessness or unlawful activities, we continue to make progress with solutions that will help our businesses and residents alike.

As a city, it is our goal to support those who invest in our community by providing local businesses options that allow the initiation of enforcement efforts.  If your business is experiencing the above-mentioned issues, we want to know. Please contact our Code Enforcement Department with any questions, comments, or concern.  We are dedicated in providing the best service possible.
