Properties must be maintained free of junk, litter, trash, garbage and refuse. This includes but is not limited to unusable appliances and machinery, salvage and scrap materials, boxes, bottles, cans, used tires, plant and tree trimmings, used building materials and used motor vehicle parts. In addition, items cannot be stored outside unless they are customarily used outside or made of a material that is resistant to damage from the weather.

To request a code compliance officer inspect a property for City Code violations, submit a My Thornton request and provide as much information as possible.
