CODE ENFORCEMENT COMPLAINT FORM
Confidentially report unsafe or noncompliant properties — submit concerns about junk, high grass, drainage, permit violations, and more so City staff can investigate and take action. For ongoing awareness: In October 2025, the City of Slidell adopted Ordinance No. 4258 to help keep our community safe and well-maintained. These updates include a faster hearing, or court-like process, with 15 days’ notice; streamlined rules for property nuisances and other code violations, including junk, unsafe structures, high grass, graffiti, and trash can pick up; new hearing fees (minimum $250) and potential fines; and full implementation in Summer 2026. The goal is to help protect property values and keep the City clean, safe, and a great place to live.
