ABOUT GACE
Established in 1998, the Georgia Association of Code Enforcement (GACE) has been dedicated to providing professional training to the growing population of Code Enforcement Officers throughout Georgia.
The purpose of GACE shall be to study and advance the science and practice of Code Enforcement, to further the interests of the professions, and to promote professionalism, fellowship, education and communication among its members.
GACE Certificate Training Program is facilitated through the UGA Carl Vinson Institute of Government and supported by the Association of County Commissioners of Georgia (ACCG) and the Georgia Municipal Association (GMA). The first training conference held by GACE was in the fall of 1998 at the University of Georgia (UGA) Center for Continuing Education located in Athens, Georgia. Now, two conferences are offered annually, one in the Spring and another in the Fall, to provide an opportunity for officers all over the state to network and receive practical and relevant instruction to assist them in their daily duties. GACE offers three levels of training for its members; Level I Certificate Program, Level II - Code Enforcement Officer Masters Certificate Program, and Level III - Code Enforcement Officer Leadership and Management Certificate Program.
The membership count for GACE has grown exponentially from only 50 members in 1998 to over 500 members currently, all due to the dedication of GACE members and volunteers as well as local jurisdictional support for the code enforcement field.
GACE has several committees on which to serve that include lobbying for state legislation to protect code enforcement officers, selecting training curriculum, supporting and recruiting members and supporting public education. GACE also provides educational scholarships for its member’s children in their pursuit of higher education.

“The plain view doctrine is another exception to the Fourth Amendment’s warrant requirement. While consent is required to inspect a building or property, this doctrine holds that if an inspector observes a violation while at a location where he or she is legally entitled to be, no violation of the Fourth Amendment results. In other words, if the alleged violation is observable from a place where any member of the public may be, the privacy interest of the owner must be considered insubstantial.
