Our goal in providing this valuable service is based on educational efforts and shared community expectations. We strive to promote voluntary compliance, with a focus on education to increase public awareness of the city’s regulatory expectations. Working hand-in-hand with property owners and business operators, positive and lasting results are achieved to benefit the Gilroy community.
