To which courts are citations issued by code enforcement officers typically appealed?

Citations issued by code enforcement officers are typically appealed to County Courts. This is because County Courts usually have jurisdiction over local ordinance violations, including those related to code enforcement issues. When a citation is issued, an individual or entity has the right to appeal the decision, and County Courts provide a venue for these appeals within the local judicial system.

Municipal Courts primarily handle cases related to city ordinances and minor offenses, but appeals from code enforcement citations are generally directed to County Courts, where a broader range of local matters can be adjudicated. Circuit Courts, while they may hear more significant cases or appeals from County Courts, are not the first line of appeal for code enforcement citations, and State Supreme Courts typically deal with cases of statewide or significant legal implications, rather than local ordinance violations. Thus, the correct route for appealing citations from code enforcement is through County Courts.
