The City of Mellette is always working in the best interests of all the people and businesses in our community. In that regard, the City has adopted a new ordinance to address property maintenance issues on private properties. The City of Mellette has hired an independent contractor to make inspections in our community to identify violations of the ordinance as they relate to property maintenance. These violations may include illegal vehicles being stored in the open areas of properties; rubbish, garbage and waste lying in yard areas; vacant and dilapidated buildings; buildings that require repairs such as windows, paint or shingles; safety issues in neighborhoods. These efforts are meant to protect the health and safety of all families and businesses in our community. They are also meant to protect property values and to encourage new families and businesses to choose Mellette as their place to call home.
If you have something that you feel may be a violation of the above maintenance issues, please take this opportunity to correct these issues immediately. Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated. Together we can work to beautify and maintain our vibrant community.
The code enforcement specialist serving this area is Shannon Speck 605-204-0995.
Sincerely,
City of Mellette
