Minimum Housing Code Enforcement

Scope of Services

Enforcement of the Minimum Housing Codes for Cornelius, Davidson, Huntersville, Matthews and Mint Hill as well as enforcing the Mecklenburg County Minimum Housing Code in the unincorporated area of Mecklenburg County. Minimum Housing Codes ensure that dwelling units maintain a minimum standard of living conditions. This encompasses any structure, from a storage building to a multi-family apartment building, if it is used as a dwelling unit.  

Our Minimum Housing Code Team is also responsible for the enforcement of the Mecklenburg County Abandoned and Junk Vehicle Ordinance in the unincorporated area of Mecklenburg County.

Review the Mecklenburg County Minimum Housing Code. (This ordinance only applies to a two-square-mile unincorprated area south of Pineville town limits.)

Residents of Charlotte and Pineville should contact their municipal government for minimum housing code assistance.
