Special Magistrate Code Compliance - June 17, 2026

The Citrus County Government held a Special Magistrate Code Compliance hearing on June 17, 2026, focusing primarily on code violations related to property maintenance, including accumulation of junk and debris, unauthorized accessory structures, and off-site signage. Multiple cases were reviewed where property owners were found in violation of county codes, with fines proposed ranging from $50 to $250 per day depending on the severity and repeat nature of the violations. The special master granted varying compliance periods, typically between 7 to 30 days, after which daily fines would be imposed if violations were not abated. Several cases involved repeat offenders, and the hearing included discussions on legal ownership issues, eviction of unauthorized occupants, and clarification of code requirements. No direct procurement, contracting, or budgetary decisions were made during this meeting.
