Did you know that Fort Worth has a way for residents to help foster healthy neighborhoods? Introducing Code Rangers.

In partnership with the Code Compliance Department, Code Rangers are trained volunteers who report suspected code violations, allowing the city to respond quickly and proactively. Think — hall monitors, but for all of Fort Worth. When a Code Ranger reports a potential violation, the city reacts by sending a courtesy letter to property owners or residents to inform them of the suspected issue.

Code Rangers must attend a training course at the Hazel Harvey Peace Center for Neighborhoods, located at 818 Missouri Ave.

How to join

  • Go to the city’s website
  • Click on “Registration Form”
  • Fill out your name, address, and contact information
  • Attend an upcoming course on Saturday, Aug. 16 or Saturday, Oct. 11
  • You must be at least 18 years old and live within Fort Worth city limits
