The Planning Services Division accepts complaints regarding Zoning/Land Use Violations within the City of Oshkosh. To file a complaint you must provide the address of the property where the Violations exist as well as information on the type and location of the violation. When providing a description of the violation, please be specific. All fields marked with a single asterisk (*) are required to be completed.
Please Note: Unless permission is granted to access the property of the alleged violations or adjacent properties, we are limited to inspecting a property from the street or sidewalk and as a result we may not be able to view all reported violations behind a house or garage or in a fenced area. If you desire to grant permission to access your property to better view the violations, the section marked with a double asterisk (**) must be completed.

What Happens Next…
Upon receipt of the complaint, an inspector will make a visit to the location. Once a violation has been verified, the responsible party will be issued a violation correction notice and given a time frame to correct the violation. The time frame will vary with the type of correction. Failure to correct the violation may result in re-inspection fees being charged and/or issuance of citations.
