Code Enforcement

The Village of Bethalto has developed a proactive approach to resolving code violations.  This action is in response to the small percentage of residents who show a lack of regard for their neighbors by creating nuisances that detract from the appearance of neighborhoods, endanger the health and safety of fellow residents, disturb the peace, and generally degrade the quality of life for those living around them.  It is our goal to bring all of these locations into compliance with local codes for the purposes of enhancing life and property values of our citizens.  Complaints about Code Violations should be made to Code Enforcement Officer Rich Mersinger at 377-7697 or rmersinger@bethalto.com.
