 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 contact our office at (360) 423-9922. You also may download a Citizen Concern Form and bring it to our office or please mail it to: Community Development Department, P.O. Box 819, Kelso, WA 98626. (Top)
