Building Code Special Maste - June 17, 2026

The Citrus County Government held a Building Code Special Master hearing on June 17, 2026, focused on addressing multiple building code violations across various properties. The hearing involved reviewing cases of unpermitted construction, renovations, and installations, including mobile homes, swimming pools, sheds, and commercial property modifications. The Special Master, Christian Wah, presided over the cases, granting property owners specific timeframes—ranging from 7 to 90 days—to bring their properties into compliance, with daily fines imposed for non-compliance thereafter. Several cases involved permit applications in progress, and some included appeals of fines or violations. The hearing emphasized compliance and the importance of timely permitting, with fines varying from $50 to $500 per day depending on the case. Evidence such as photographs, permits, and inspection reports were admitted to support the county's enforcement actions. No new procurement contracts or budget allocations were discussed during this meeting.
