In May of 2007, control of the Clayton County Code Enforcement Unit was transferred from Community Development to the Clayton County Police Department. The Code Enforcement Unit is staffed by ten full time and three part time Code Enforcement Officers and is a sub-division of the Special Services Division of the police department. The unit is located on the ground floor of police headquarters at 7911 N. McDonough Street, Jonesboro, Georgia and operates Monday - Saturday from 7:30 AM - 6:30 PM. Complaints concerning housing code can be reported to the Clayton County Communications Center non-emergency number at 770-477-3550 or directly to the Supervisor of the Code Enforcement Unit at 770-477-3628 and someone will be assigned to investigate.

The Clayton County Police Department Code Enforcement Unit responds to concerns from citizens that affect the quality of life within the county such as zoning, overgrown lots or yards, inoperative or unregistered vehicles, maintenance of structures, illegal signs and public nuisances. Systematic inspections are also performed throughout the county to ensure properties are in compliance with county code, the Standard Housing Code (1994 edition), as published by the Southern Building Code Congress International, Inc., and the International Property Maintenance Code (2003 edition) which the Clayton County Board of Commissioners has adopted (with ammendments) as the standards for enforcement action under Sec. 18-431.1, Clayton County Code of Ordinances.
