The mission of the City of Hoquiam Code Compliance Office is to protect community health, safety, welfare and quality of life while protecting individual property rights.

Provisions of the City of Hoquiam Municipal Code applying to housing, dangerous structures, property maintenance, land use, and signage are enforced in a responsible, courteous and impartial manner.

  • Substandard or dangerous structures.
  • Overgrown, dead or hazardous vegetation on private property.
  • Junk or abandoned vehicles.
  • Land Use violations, including building setbacks, home occupations, recreational vehicle use and storage, and businesses operating without a City business license.
  • Use or placement of illegal signs.
  • Construction activities without necessary building or land development permits.

  • Missing signs, street or sidewalk obstructions, and potholes in streets should be referred to the Street Department at (360) 637-6012
  • Abandoned vehicles on City streets should be referred to Bob Hill at 360-532-0892.
