AI Summary
This bill allows a municipal court to order a city to fix a property maintenance violation if the person or entity responsible for the violation fails to do so within 30 days of being found in violation. Property maintenance ordinances are local rules about how properties should be kept up. If the city has to step in and fix the problem, the cost of that work will be charged to the property owner and will be recorded as a lien, which is a legal claim against the property, in favor of the city. This change applies to existing Tennessee laws found in Titles 6, 7, 13, 16, and 29.
