The Local Government Issue: Code Enforcement

November 12, 2024

Our November newsletter is dedicated to local governments and the tireless work they do to help our region thrive. In this Insight, we’re highlighting one of the services we provide to local governments so that they can reach their organizational goals.

In 2023, we published an article about our work in Weddington where limited staff made code enforcement a challenge. Many local governments face this same problem, and Centralina is here to provide support. Join the ranks of Weddington, Badin, Cherryville and more to better preserve your community’s quality of life.

Code enforcement supports housing preservation by ensuring that properties meet minimum standards for safety, health and aesthetics. These services protect property values, preserve community character and are vital to improving and preserving quality of life for residents and businesses.

Our staff can provide local governments with customized, on-call code enforcement services. Depending on your unique needs, our staff will perform such duties as reviewing ordinances for alignment with industry standards, investigating substandard building complaints and notifying property owners.

Need help maintaining your standards?

When a construction or repair contract over $300,000 involves a building, the procurement and contract are subject to additional requirements under N.C.G.S. 143-128. Therefore, this question must be answered to determine whether the additional statutory requirements apply to this procurement scenario.

The micro-purchase threshold is a federal procurement threshold under which competitive procurement is not required. The default micro-purchase threshold is $15,000, but local governments may increase the micro-purchase threshold up to $50,000. An explanation of increasing the micro-purchase threshold and a template for the required annual self-certification is available here.
