Reporting A Potential Code Violation
Porter County Code Enforcement can only address possible violations for properties in UNINCORPORATED areas of Porter County. Unincorporated means those areas outside of the municipal boundaries of our cities and towns. If the property you are concerned about is within a city or town, we have listed the applicable websites below where you can report your concern.
