Public Nuisance Enforcement

Example Junk

The City is preparing to pursue enforcement actions against John Day property owners, who we believe are in violation of one of more aspects of the Public Nuisance Ordinance.

The Ordinance is available at city hall, or at this link

Typical violations include:

  • accumulation of waste in flood area;

  • accumulation of feces/manure outside of sealed containers;

  • burning of garbage;

  • keeping excess junk or neglected/wrecked vehicles;

  • derelict structures;

  • pest infestations; 

  • noxious or dry vegetation and/or trees.

If you are concerned that you may be in violation of this ordinance please contact us at: cityofjohnday@grantcounty-or.gov

We appreciate your efforts to maintain a safe and healthy community!
