Bill Summary
As enacted, prohibits a municipality from remediating a property maintenance violation if the cost may negatively impact the municipality's financial position, or if the cost is budgetarily prohibitive; specifies that, in addition to assessing remediation costs against a property owner in the form of a lien, a municipality may recover remediation costs through all other legal means. - Amends TCA Title 6; Title 7; Title 13; Title 16, Chapter 18 and Title 29, Chapter 3.
AI Summary
This bill allows a municipal court to order a municipality to fix a property maintenance violation if the person or entity found to be in violation fails to do so within 30 days of the court's finding; the cost of this fix, known as remediation, will be charged to the property owner as a lien, which is a legal claim against the property, in favor of the municipality, though the municipality can still pursue other legal ways to recover the costs.
