Policy and Procedure
Ordinance Complaint Form Explanation – Village of Carsonville
  1. The PURPOSE of the Ordinance Complaint Form is to properly record and track complaints of violations against the duly adopted Zoning & General Ordinances of the Village of Carsonville.
  2. The PROCEDURE in The Village of Carsonville when dealing with the Ordinance complaints shall be as follows:
    • All complaints of alleged violations of Village Ordinances are to be referred to the Village staff for proper recording of the complaint, in observance of this policy and adherence to time constraints therein. The staff member will then inform the complainant that a signed complaint form will be required and will be sent to them for completion and returned to the Clerk’s Office before complaint will be acted upon.
    • The person making the complaint shall identify himself or herself by providing their name, mailing address and phone number to the staff member. Should the caller or visitor fail to identify themselves as a Village of Carsonville resident or property owner, the staff member shall proceed no further with the complaint other than to record the visit or phone call as stated above.
    • Upon proper identification by the Complainant, an Ordinance Complaint Form shall be provided to the complainant via mail, fax or in person.
    • The form is to be filled out, SIGNED and returned to the Clerk’s Office. The Clerk’s Office will then make a determination of action upon the complaint as presented. By signing this complaint, the complainant agrees to being a witness at a Civil or Criminal Hearing in front of the District Magistrate, should the complaint proceed to that point in the legal process. The Complainant will be subpoenaed if necessary by the District Magistrate’s Office. Unsigned complaints will not be acted upon.
    • In order to gather a complete history of a formal complaint, any and all information/inquiries, received by the staff or Supervisors regarding a formal complaint, shall be referred/forwarded to the Clerk’s Office. All complaint information is to remain confidential UNTIL A HEARING BEFORE THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE.
    • A designated representative of the Village of Carsonville shall make an investigation of the complaint.
    • In cases where a violation is found, an enforcement proceeding will commence or in cases where there is no violation that determination will be noted and no further action will be taken.

The Village of Carsonville’s concern is with the enforcement of this Ordinance, and that the Village will not proceed unless it believes there is a reasonable basis for an enforcement proceeding.

Enforcement proceedings will be as follows –

  • A formal letter informing the resident or property owner that there is a violation of a Zoning &/or General Village Ordinance to include a copy of the ordinance in violation, a proposed remedy and designated time period in which the violation is to be rectified.
  • If the violation is not rectified within the specified period of the original letter informing of  the violation a Civil Infraction Citation will be issued with the appropriate fine, and again a specified period in which the violation needs to be rectified.
  • If the violation is not rectified after the first Civil Infraction Citation issuance deadline a second Citation with a higher fine will be imposed with a new deadline for rectification.
  • Failure to rectify violation by the deadline of the second Citation and the Village will turn the issue over to the Attorney to begin Court action.
