If code enforcement and compliance is a field that you feel is interesting and matches your skill set, then you will want to look further into how your local, state, or federal government may help you fill your passion with a position in code compliance.

 

Understanding Code Compliance Roles

These professionals play a critical role in maintaining the quality of neighborhoods, ensuring buildings are safe and environments are livable.
