The Code Enforcement Section enforces a broad range of land use related ordinances to assure that a healthy and safe environment is maintained for the residents of Palm Coast. Enforcement Services are provided in response to citizen complaints, but work efforts also include proactive enforcement programs and educational components designed to promote compliance with adopted regulations. When necessary, enforcement may be achieved through either the Civil Citation System or through actions by the Code Enforcement Board. The Code Enforcement Board has the authority to levy a fine of up to $1,000 per day (more for repeat violations).

Trash: (Palm Coast Code Chapter 41) The City's solid waste contractor picks up garbage twice per week and yard waste and recyclables once per week in the residential neighborhoods. Pickup days vary according to the neighborhood and street. Currently, this service is provided by Waste Pro of Florida for a flat fee billed to each resident's monthly utility billing. Waste containers should be placed curbside no later than 6:00am on the day of scheduled pick-up. However, they may be placed curbside anytime after 6:00pm the day before the scheduled pick-up. Likewise - any empty waste containers must be removed from the street no later than 6:00am the day following the scheduled pick-up. Except when placed for collection, waste containers must be screened from public view. Littering or debris disposal is not allowed on private or public property.
