City launches Code Compliance Connects program to support neighbors
Published on September 08, 2025
The City of Fort Worth is proud to introduce Code Compliance Connects. From the Stockyards to our neighborhoods, this new program connects residents in need with local volunteers who are ready to lend a hand with code-related concerns around their homes.
Thanks to the generosity of local businesses, organizations, and volunteers, this new program is helping residents maintain their properties while fostering the Fort Worth spirit of helping others. The program is especially focused on supporting those who may be elderly, disabled, or facing limited resources, ensuring that every neighborhood has the chance to thrive.
We are seeking volunteers who can give their time and resources, as well as families who may need a hand maintaining their properties. Projects will focus on improving safety, health, and neighborhood appearance, reinforcing the pride that make Fort Worth a unique and welcoming city.
How Volunteers Can Help
Businesses, churches, civic groups, student organizations, and individual volunteers may assist with projects such as:
- Mowing overgrown grass and weeds
- Removing litter, brush, or bulky waste
- Minor fence repairs or removals
- Exterior painting or graffiti removal
- Trimming trees or bushes blocking sidewalks
- Donating labor for minor home upkeep
Assistance is not guaranteed, since the program depends on volunteer availability, project scope, and property type. If a resident’s request matches the resources a volunteer group can provide, the City will help connect the two so that the work may be completed.
Neighbors Helping Neighbors, the Fort Worth Way!
Code Compliance Connects is more than just a program, it’s a pathway to civic engagement, volunteerism, and neighborly support. Whether you’re a business owner, part of a church or nonprofit, a student group, or simply a neighbor with a helping hand to lend, there’s a place for you in this effort.
