Code Enforcement Special Magistrate 10-08-26

Seminole County Code Enforcement Special Magistrate hearing, October 8, 2026. The magistrate accepted the minutes from the August 13 and September 10 meetings and heard multiple property-code cases involving unpermitted work, unsafe or vacant structures, overgrown lots, junk vehicles, pools, and zoning violations. Orders set compliance deadlines and potential daily fines, generally ranging from $150 to $1,000 depending on the case and violation. The magistrate also authorized health-and-safety measures and possible liens for county costs in certain unsafe-property cases. In a case involving a 42-building condominium community, the association described a long-term repair effort; an RFP indicating that it was proceeding with a contractor was accepted into the hearing record, and the magistrate set a review deadline while recognizing that full compliance could take substantially longer. No county contract award, vendor selection, or government procurement spending approval was identified.
