Code Enforcement

The City of Rainier Code Enforcement department diligently promotes and maintains compliance with the Rainier Municipal code by informing and educating citizens. Our Code Enforcement Officer investigates alleged and/or apparent code violations, contacts residents and/or property owners, and works with them to correct the identified issues.

Note that the Code Enforcement Officer responds to complaints regarding the Rainier Municipal Code only. Complaints about building/construction, crimes or legal complaints, land use violations, animal control issues, etc., do not fall under the jurisdiction of the Code Enforcement Officer.

Any criminal activity should be directed to the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office (TCSO) as the City contracts police services with them. The dispatch number for TCSO is (360) 704-2740. Contact City Hall for additional information on non-code complaints and we can direct you to the proper department(s).
