Surprise sets public meeting for property maintenance ordinance for March 30

Posted

The city of Surprise is requesting public comment on the draft property maintenance ordinance.

Two virtual public meetings have been scheduled to encourage residents and business owners to learn more about the ordinance and ask questions.

The public meetings are scheduled for 4 p.m. Tuesday, March 30, and 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 13.

Links to the virtual public meetings are available at surpriseaz.gov/PMO.

The property maintenance ordinance is the guiding document that establishes minimum standards for all property, residential and commercial building maintenance throughout the city.

The goal of the PMO is to keep the city safe, healthy and blight-free.


The proposed PMO will replace the International Property Maintenance Code adopted by Council in 2007, and it will become part of the Surprise Municipal Code upon adoption.

The public is invited to comment on the PMO during the 60-day comment period. Public comments will be accepted through Sunday, May 2 via an online comment box at surpriseaz.gov/PMO.

A presentation and vote to adopt the PMO is tentatively scheduled for the second Regular City Council Meeting June 15.

If adopted, the ordinance will be effective July 15.
