HOW TO REPORT A COMPLAINT

In order to properly investigate complaints in a timely manner, we need accurate information. Most importantly, we need to contact the complainant and the property owner. Without this critical information unnecessary delays result as the nuisance abatement officer searches for the needed information. No anonymous complaints are accepted. We will never disclose your name; however you will be required to provide your name and daytime phone number.

If you would like to report a complaint, please give us a call.  You also may download a Citizen Complaint Form and bring it to our office or please mail it to: City Hall Attention Don Harris, PO Box 819, Kelso, WA 98626. (Top)
