The City of Fort Walton Beach Code Enforcement team will hold its next Community Code Compliance Sweep from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 2, 2025, as part of the city’s “Cleanest City on the Emerald Coast” initiative.
- Code enforcement officers will cover the Kenwood neighborhood from Merioneth Drive northeast north to Windsor Lane northeast and everything east to the water.
The goal of this effort is to allow code enforcement officers to engage with the community, raise awareness about local code requirements, and encourage voluntary compliance before issuing any citations or fines, according to the city.
Common violations that city code enforcement officers find include inoperable vehicles or vehicles parked on the roadway for more than 72 hours, overgrown grass and uncontrolled vegetation, and accumulation of litter, junk, or debris in yards.
- Additional violations include garbage cans left curbside after collection and unpermitted construction or property work.
The Community Code Compliance Sweeps will be scheduled every couple of weeks, focusing on different neighborhoods as the city continues this initiative throughout Fort Walton Beach.
The city emphasized its appreciation for cooperation in helping keep Fort Walton Beach a clean, safe, and beautiful place to live.

How about cleaning up the vegetation at the corner of the old fire station at Mooney Rd? So glad to see you are finally edging the weeds off the median of Racetrack!! Thanks for cleaning up this town. We are tired of being the Okaloosa stepchild next to pristine Destin and Niceville.
