White Lake, South Dakota

Violations to City Ordinances

April 1, 2022 - The City of White Lake is continuing its work for the best interests of all the people and businesses in our community. The City has hired an independent contractor to make inspections in our community to identify violations of the ordinances as they relate to property maintenance. These violations may include illegal vehicles being stored in the open areas of properties; rubbish, garbage and waste lying in yard areas; vacant and dilapidated buildings; buildings that require repairs such as windows, missing paint, or shingles; issues that involve the safety and well-being of our citizens. These efforts are meant to protect the health and safety of all families and businesses in our community. They are also meant to protect property values and to encourage new families and businesses to choose White Lake as their place to call home. If you have something that you feel may be a violation of the above maintenance issues, please take this opportunity to correct these issues immediately. Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated. Together we can work to beautify and maintain our vibrant community. Sincerely, White Lake City Council
