Code Enforcement Software
Code enforcement software built for small and mid-sized cities and counties.
NovoGov helps your team move off paper and spreadsheets to track violations, run mobile inspections, and generate violation notices from one system.
Code Enforcement Management Software
Manual inspections and paper-based reporting slow down your city’s operations. NovoGov Code Enforcement Software, part of our Community Development system and built on the same configurable platform as our work order management software, helps municipalities automate code enforcement tasks, manage violations, and stay compliant—all from one centralized platform.
With real-time mapping, mobile photo capture, and automated reporting, your team can handle complaints, inspections, and violation notices faster than ever—improving responsiveness and transparency with the public.
See how NovoGov Code Enforcement Software streamlines inspections, automates violation tracking, and generates compliance reports in real time. This demo highlights how municipalities can manage cases, attach photos, and create code violation letters directly from the field.

From Complaint to Compliance
NovoGov follows a code case from the first complaint through to resolution, so nothing slips through the cracks and every step is documented in one place.
- Intake. A resident reports a violation through the citizen portal, or your staff logs it. Through the Citizen Request Management integration, complaints route straight to your code enforcement dashboard.
- Open and locate the case. Each complaint becomes a case. Geo-code the incident, pull parcel information, and see it on the map, with the case fields you set up in the Custom Form Designer.
- Field inspection. An officer inspects from a phone or tablet, records findings on a custom inspection form, and attaches photos from the field.
- Notice of violation. Auto-generate the violation letter with mail merge, then print or email it.
- Follow-up and paper trail. Log every activity, from inspections done to warnings issued to follow-up visits, so the case builds a complete history.
- Resolution and records. Close the case with a complete record of everything that happened, from the first complaint to the final inspection.
- Report. Custom reports show open cases, status, and totals, and you can view cases on the map.

Code Enforcement in Action: City of Edgewood, FL
The City of Edgewood, FL, a community of just under 3,000 near Orlando, used to run code enforcement through informal emails and phone calls, where reported violations were sometimes misplaced or forgotten. After moving to NovoGov with a resident portal, residents now submit code enforcement issues online, the city tracks them in one place, and communication with residents improved. Code enforcement there is handled by Stacey Salemi, the city’s Code Compliance Officer.
