Report A Violation

This form is set up for residents that don’t have an HOA and are afraid of neighbor backlash to report County Code violations and improve their neighborhood. You may report the violation here and a POWS member will confirm the violation and report it to the County’s 311 system for you. Please give us a few days to respond as we are volunteers and are trying our best.

Neighborhood Beautification Grants

The purpose and mission of Orange County’s grant program is to provide direct funding to support and assist neighborhoods and organizations in improving the physical and social quality of their community. The grant program is designed to promote partnerships between citizens in the County, while working to beautify those neighborhoods.

Sustainable Communities Grants

Orange County’s Sustainable Communities Grant Program aims to provide essential funding to support neighborhoods and organizations dedicated to reducing pollution and minimizing their carbon footprint. A sustainable community thrives on economic, environmental, and social health, fostering resilience and well-being for both current and future generations. Available funding comes in grants ranging from five hundred to five thousand dollars, intended to help neighborhoods remain safe, healthy, and connected. Eligible projects may focus on enhancing lighting, improving watering systems, developing community gardens, generating electricity, and reducing pollution. Additionally, special events are encouraged to educate community members.
