Catch code violations the same day they are filed.

Each property requires manual work before monitoring can begin. We confirm ownership against Broward County records, normalize the address to match how the city's database stores it (Fort Lauderdale's system has multiple formats for the same address), and seed any currently-open violations so you only get alerts on genuinely new issues.

The setup fee is $99 for the first 25 properties, then $3 per additional property. This covers the one-time onboarding work. Your monthly fee covers the ongoing monitoring after that.

Pricing is tiered, not flat — your rate drops as your portfolio grows, and each tier rate applies only to the properties within that tier. The first 10 properties are billed at $10 each, properties 11 through 50 are billed at $5 each, and properties 51 and beyond are billed at $2 each.

For example: a portfolio of 100 properties costs $100 (first 10) + $200 (next 40) + $100 (final 50) = $400 per month. A portfolio of 200 properties costs $600 per month.

Usually within a few hours. We check the city's system four times every day — morning, midday, afternoon, and evening. Most violations are caught and emailed to you the same day they are filed by the inspector.

Every alert includes the property address, the case number, the date the violation was filed, and a direct link to the city's LauderBuild record for that case.

We intentionally don't summarize the violation details for you — at the time a case is first opened, the description is often just "initial complaint" or "neighbor complaint" and the actual cited issues won't be confirmed until a code officer inspects the property. The city's record is the source of truth and updates as the case progresses, which is why we link you directly to it.

Under Fort Lauderdale code enforcement rules, if your property has had the same type of violation in the past five years, fines on a new violation of the same type begin accruing immediately from the date of inspection — typically $50 to $250 per day. There is no cure period before fines start, unlike a first-time violation.

This is why repeat violations are so expensive: the city has no obligation to give you time to fix the issue before charging you for it.

Whatever's easiest for you. A spreadsheet (Excel, Google Sheets, CSV), a list pasted into an email, even a screenshot of a property management dashboard — we handle the normalization on our end. Just get us the addresses and we'll do the rest.

That's fine — and often the smartest way to start. Many owners only sign up the properties that have had violations in the last five years, since those are the ones where fines start immediately on a repeat. Pick whichever properties you want to cover; you're not required to enroll your whole portfolio.

Email us. There are no contracts, no minimum commitments, no cancellation fees. We'll prorate your final month and remove your properties from monitoring.

Not yet. Fort Lauderdale is our first city because it's where we operate ourselves. We plan to expand to other Florida municipalities (and beyond) as demand grows. If you have properties in another city and want to be on the waitlist, let us know.

No. CodeNotify is a private service. We monitor the city's public code enforcement records on your behalf and notify you of any matches. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or part of any government agency.
