Growing and going strong since 1988
      The American Association of Code Enforcement (AACE), founded in 1988 by representatives from five states, now represents all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Canada.

    AACE is the only association representing housing, property maintenance and zoning officials in the United States. Its members are employed by cities, towns, parishes, counties and state government for the enforcement of housing, property maintenance and zoning ordinances intended to provide minimum standards for the protection of the public's health, safety and welfare.

   The association's mission is to educate, elevate and improve the profession of code enforcement.
Member benefits include:
        * Career development through educational programs, resources and tools, culminating in certification for the professional code officer
        * Professional advancement within a network of peers and and potential employers accessible in a nationwide membership directory

       * News to go in the form of electronic newsletters, web resources and emails news flashes to keep members abreast in the latest code enforcement developments and issues.
