Senior Assistance Program For Code Violations
This initiative aims to aid seniors aged 65+ and/or disabled individuals with confirmed violations in the following categories:
- Overgrown vegetation (lawn or alley maintenance), outside placement, trash, or debris
- Tree removal or trimming when posing a hazard
You must also have financial hardship and be on a fixed income, and reside in a single-family home.
HOW IT WORKS
You must have received a code violation for any of the items listed above. To find out if you qualify, contact the Code Enforcement Officer at the number listed on the notice. You will be asked to fill out a form.
Once approved, the work will be done by an approved City contractor. The resident will not be billed for this service.
Our goal is to help senior citizens and/or disabled address these violations before they become citations that accrue fees. This program can only be accessed a maximum of two times per year per household.
The community tool shed contains a collection of hand and gas power tools that can be used at no cost by residents, businesses, and community groups of San Antonio to clean and improve their properties.
