Special Magistrate Meeting 10-01-2026 01:30 PM

The City of Delray Beach Code Enforcement Special Magistrate meeting on October 1, 2026, approved the consent agenda and minutes from May 21 and September 3. The magistrate heard property-maintenance, permitting, landscaping, and site-plan cases. Orders generally gave property owners 30 days to correct violations, with potential daily fines ranging from $50 to $250. One commercial-property case required an application for site-plan and conditional-use approvals within 30 days and approval within 180 days, or a potential $250-per-day fine. Other orders addressed unpermitted work, building maintenance, grease-containment requirements, and overgrown landscaping, with potential fines of up to $100 per day in several cases.

In lien matters, the magistrate continued a $56,600 lien and $100 daily fines against a property remaining out of compliance; reduced another fine from $46,800 to $10,000 payable within 30 days; and reduced a separate fine from approximately $13,220 to $1,000 payable within 30 days. The magistrate also vacated an existing order in a Delray Club case at the city’s request, leaving the matter pending. No procurement, contract award, purchasing decision, or budget allocation was identified.
