The Northfield Township Board of Trustees revised its code enforcement strategies from a Criminal Misdemeanor approach to issuing civil infractions (commonly referred to as tickets) for blight and code violations, with some exceptions.  Our goal and commitment is to maintain an attractive and well maintained community for all our residents, visitors and businesses to enjoy, thereby maintaining Northfield's high standards of curb appeal.

The Code Enforcement Department works in partnership with Northfield residents and business owners to promote and maintain a safe and desirable living and working environment. We will be working with residents, neighborhood associations, business owners and other Northfield Township departments to enhance the quality of life in our community by eliminating unsightly or hazardous conditions in our neighborhoods and businesses. Code Enforcement covers a variety of codes and ordinances that the Township has adopted over the years that affect all aspects of our Township's quality of life.
