City of Conyers Code Enforcement works proactively every day to enforce the codes and ordinances within the city. Our mission is to keep the city looking great and to work to maintain a high quality of life for residents, business owners, and visitors. 

The city is divided into three zones. The officers are assigned to an area to monitor for code violations. Code enforcement seeks to have voluntary compliance from residents, property owners, tenants, and businesses.
