Odor Complaint

Odor complaints are handled jointly between Code Enforcement and the Lake Stevens Police Department. The Puget Clean Air Agency has trained officers to respond to local odor complaints. It is essential to report odor complaints as soon as possible. Odor complaints can be challenging to investigate due to the duration of odor and weather conditions. Documenting odor issues immediately helps staff identify the source of an odor violation and recommend corrective actions for any continuing issues. 

If you are experiencing a pervasive noxious or nuisance odor, call the LAKE STEVENS POLICE DEPARTMENT AT 9-1-1 immediately to register odor complaints. 

After reporting the violation, please submit a complaint at the Code Enforcement Portal.
