Building Code Special Master - September 16, 2026

The Citrus County Government held a Building Code Special Master hearing on September 16, 2026, focusing primarily on code compliance cases and related fines. The meeting included updates on abated cases and continuances, followed by hearings on specific property violations. One case involved a metal roof installation requiring compliance within 30 days to avoid daily fines. Another appeal concerned unpermitted structures where the property owner demonstrated good faith efforts to obtain permits despite delays caused by architectural and system issues. The Special Master reduced the fines significantly in recognition of compliance efforts, emphasizing the importance of bringing properties into compliance rather than imposing punitive penalties. No new procurement contracts, vendor selections, or budget allocations were discussed during this meeting.
