The objective of property maintenance enforcement is to protect the public health safety and welfare in all structures and on all premises by establishing requirements and standards.
The Requirements and standards are set forth in the local Ordinance and also the BOCA National Property Maintenance Code as adopted by the Village of South Holland. In order to maintain the high standard that our village has become known for, we will continue to maintain property within our village boundaries through constantly enforcing these ordinances and codes.
The Most Common Areas of Concern:
PROPERTY:
- Stagnant water in swimming pools or ground depressions.
- Overgrown weeds in landscaped areas. Weeds in excess of 10" are in violation.

- Motor vehicles parked in grass areas are in violation.
- Motor vehicles undergoing repair work either mechanical or body, must be done inside a structure, not in the driveway or on the street.
