Reporting Violations
Often the best way to solve a problem is to become a part of the solution. You can help make Breckenridge become a cleaner, safer community by keeping your property clean and in compliance with city ordinances. Most people want to comply with the laws of the community where they live, but some are not aware of city ordinances. Sometimes people violate city codes because they do not realize that what they are doing is unacceptable.
