Common Issues You Can Report

Community Involvement

Community involvement is a critical component of Neighborhood Preservation’s efforts to maintain clean, safe, and healthy neighborhoods in Orange County’s unincorporated communities. By working collaboratively with residents and business owners, Neighborhood Preservation promotes awareness of County ordinances, encourages voluntary compliance, and supports a shared responsibility for preserving neighborhood quality of life.

Community Meetings

Neighborhood Preservation participates in community meetings to educate residents and business owners about County ordinances and to work collaboratively to address neighborhood concerns. These meetings provide an opportunity to promote understanding of code requirements, encourage voluntary compliance, and help prevent conditions that may impact public health, safety, or neighborhood quality of life.

Communities interested in requesting Neighborhood Preservation participation at a meeting may contact the office at (714) 667-8853.
