How do communities of different sizes approach code enforcement, and what strategies actually work in practice? This session brings together perspectives from rural gateway communities, larger cities, and county governments to explore real-world challenges and practical solutions related to zoning and land-use enforcement. Speakers will discuss staffing limitations, short-term rental impacts, community trust, alignment with state legislation, and the difficult decisions around what gets enforced — and what sometimes does not — despite being written into code. Through comparative examples and lessons learned, attendees will gain practical insights and adaptable strategies to support fair, effective, and community-centered code enforcement.
