CODE ENFORCEMENT

Code Enforcement 2021

Hello again from the Code Enforcement Office! I’ve enjoyed meeting and talking to many more of you during my second year here in Mechanic Falls. After studying long and hard and taking many exams, I’m a fully certified Code Officer now. I’m sure more people know of me now and have discovered that I am here to help YOU. I hope that you have found my interactions with each of you honorable, and have witnessed that I am guided by reason.

Looking for something to do in your spare time?

Did you know that you DO NOT need to OWN land in Mechanic Falls to be on a town board, committee, or even the Town Council? As long as you are a resident of Mechanic Falls, you are eligible to be on a number of boards and committees! That being said, WE NEED PEOPLE on the Planning Board! There is one regular seat open and two alternate seats open.

Ordinances

Codification is underway! Codification is the process of arranging laws or rules according to a system or plan. The process is a lengthy one but General Code and our code editor there (Deb) has been extremely helpful and on top of our Code organization process! The expected date of Publish for our online code is 2024. I know that seems like a long way off, but it’ll be here before you know it! In the meantime, if you have questions about the rules here in Mechanic Falls , please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me and ASK . There really are no bad questions and I’m happy to steer you in the right direction or help you understand our ordinances.
