If there is a nuisance in my neighborhood or a property owner I feel is in violation of the Zoning Ordinance, who should I contact?

Contact the Department of Planning and Zoning at 317-839-2561. Staff will take immediate action by contacting the property owner and requesting compliance. If Staff's requests are ignored, the property owner may be invited to appear before the Plan Commission to explain reasons for non-compliance. If these actions still result in non-compliance, a letter by Certified Mail will be sent informing the property owner they have ten days to comply or a fine of $50 or more per day could be levied until the property becomes compliant with the Zoning Ordinance.
