Code enforcement fine mitigation and compliance

More than a dozen property owners are asking the county's Special Magistrate to sharply reduce accrued code enforcement fines, including one request to cut $37,970 down to $700. The outcomes determine whether long-running violations get fixed and how much the county collects.

Impact analysis
Roughly $110,000 in accrued fines across the docket could be reduced to under $7,000 if all mitigation requests are granted.
Property owners facing large accrued fines would benefit from reductions; neighbors could benefit if cases are resolved and violations corrected.
If fines are slashed, neighbors who endured the violations see little penalty on the owners; the county collects less in enforcement revenue.
