Code Enforcement Board 6/19/2026

The City of Punta Gorda Code Enforcement Board held a meeting on June 19, 2026, primarily addressing multiple code violation cases involving property maintenance, unpermitted structures, and compliance orders. The board reviewed cases related to violations such as unpermitted boat lifts attached to seawalls, building material and concrete debris on properties, tall grass and weeds, inoperable vehicles, and visual blight. Several motions were passed to find respondents in violation of city codes, impose fines (including a notable $6,200 fine for prolonged non-compliance on one case), and order corrective actions within specified timeframes, typically 30 to 60 days. Case costs were also assessed and ordered to be paid by respondents. The board discussed procedural matters including continuances, case dismissals when properties came into compliance, and the establishment of a policy for approved absences of board members. No new procurement contracts or budget allocations were discussed during this meeting.
