Jurisdictional vs. Non-Jurisdictional Areas

Having a Marietta mailing address doesn't necessarily place you within the city limits of Marietta.
To make a complaint to the city of Marietta's Code Enforcement Division, it is necessary to determine if the alleged violation is within the city's jurisdiction or not.
The city's online tool, MyMarietta, can help determine if a property is inside the city.
The Code Enforcement Department is only able to investigate complaints that are inside the city limits of Marietta.
To report complaints that are outside of Marietta's jurisdiction, you must contact that particular jurisdictional government agency where the alleged violation occurred.
