The full story

The Dover City Council on first reading introduced Ordinance 2025-06 to add a Code Board of Appeals to the municipality's general provisions. The ordinance would give residents a formal appeal avenue for code enforcement violations not subject to existing appeals (for example, fire code or International Code Council (ICC) matters) and would exclude parking tickets handled through the police/court process.
