The county that I am in has never done a Search Warrant for property dealing with code violations. Can someone give me some help in the best way to proceed with this. I want to have some information to set the correct way to start procedures like this.  Thanks David Parrott

David, I've only had to do this a couple of times but I know first you have to have probable cause and then you go to your Judge. It all depends on your Judge.

I had to do my first administrative search warrant a couple of months ago. I had to show probable cause and present it to our Municipal Court Judge. Once he was satisfied with the reason it was needed, he had no problem signing it. After we served the warrant and completed the inspection, I had to submit pictures and a report to the Judge for the court's files. Good luck !

On the GACE Website under Resource Library (sample forms) there is a warrant application for abatement that might be of some use or I can send you a copy of the one I use. Just shoot me a email and let me know. I have done a good many of them
