The enforcement of zoning requirements occurs by:

Zoning requirements are enforced primarily by local municipalities, which have the authority to create and implement zoning laws under the Enabling Act. The Enabling Act grants local governments the power to regulate land use to promote the health, safety, and general welfare of the community. This includes establishing zoning ordinances that delineate legal land uses, densities, and any applicable regulations.

Local municipalities employ various means to enforce these zoning requirements, including inspections, issuing permits, and taking action against violations through fines or legal proceedings. This structured approach ensures that land development aligns with community planning goals and enhances orderly development within the municipality.

The other options, while involved in community management in various capacities, do not possess the legal authority to enforce zoning requirements. Homeowners' associations typically manage community standards within their specific neighborhoods but do not have the same broad powers as municipalities. The Department of Transportation primarily focuses on transportation-related matters, lacking jurisdiction over zoning, and neighborhood watch programs are volunteer organizations aimed at enhancing community safety rather than enforcing land use regulations.
