Administrative Citation

The Community Enforcement Department generates cases through both proactive and reactive means.  When residents and/or property owners do not voluntarily abate code violations that have been brought to their attention, there are numerous avenues available to assist in gaining compliance. These include, but are not limited to, issuance of a written notice of violation/ warning documenting the violations; issuance of administrative citations that carry a fine of $100 - $1,000 per violation per day; and criminal citations to court; and property liens.
 
 The Beaumont Municipal Code provides for the issuance of administrative citations for violations of Beaumont Municipal Code, its adopted codes and applicable State Codes or the failure to comply with any condition imposed by any entitlement, permit, agreement or environmental document issued or approved under the provisions of any Code.  For further information regarding the compliance order, or a specific citation please contact the issuing Enforcement Officer. If you have complied with the compliance order please contact the issuing officer at (951) 769-8520.
 

How to pay the Fine
 
 The amount of fine is indicated on the front of the administrative citation. The fine must be paid within thirty (30) calendar days from the date to the citation processing company, PTICKET, to avoid late fees. Payment of fine(s) shall not excuse or discharge the failure to correct the violation(s) nor shall it bar further enforcement action by the City. Fines may be paid in the following manner:
