Codes Enforcement, part of the Las Cruces Police Department, helps enforce codes and regulations that promote the health, safety, and welfare of everyone who lives in Las Cruces. The mission of Codes Enforcement is to preserve the environment and beauty of our city.
Jesus “Chuy” Aguirre and Cory Wieland serve as Codes Enforcement supervisors and oversees 14 Codes officers who initiate or respond to roughly 17,000 calls for service each year. Codes commonly self-generates its workload and handles such calls as excessive weeds, trash and inoperable vehicles to name a few.
To report a suspected violation or otherwise speak with a Codes Enforcement officer, please call (575) 526-0795.
Codes Enforcement officers regularly partners with Las Cruces police officers from the department’s Community Engagement section. Together, they host neighborhood cleanups and other events that benefit and help beautify Las Cruces.

Yard/garage sale signs are one of the City’s biggest problems when hosting such an event. These signs cannot be posted on City Property (medians, sidewalks, light posts, and stop signs are the most popular violations).
Private Property
Private property (your residence, a neighbor on the corner) is the only allowed places for a sign. Off-premises signs may be used to advertise any garage sale, private sale or event, provided that the signs are not over three square feet in sign area and are used only during the duration of the event. The person erecting the sign and the property owner at the sign location shall be responsible for sign removal and all other requirements concerning signs. Please remember to remove the sign after your successful event. Also, on a side note, please take into consideration of your neighbors due to parking issues and additional activity in your neighborhood.
