The Seminole County Government held a Code Enforcement Special Magistrate hearing on May 14, 2026, addressing multiple code enforcement cases involving property violations such as unsafe structures, unpermitted construction, accumulation of rubbish, and dilapidated fences. Several cases involved requests for lien reductions or waivers, with the magistrate granting waivers or reductions based on compliance and payment of administrative fees. Notably, liens totaling over $300,000 were discussed, with conditions placed on payment plans and timelines for demolition or compliance.
