Bill Summary
Establishes penalties, including fines and liens, for an owner of real property's failure to remediate zoning violations. Permits a county planning or permitting agency or the Attorney General to commence foreclosure proceedings if the owner fails to satisfy certain conditions. Effective 7/1/3000. (HD1)
AI Summary
This bill establishes penalties for property owners who fail to fix zoning violations after receiving a notice, requiring a minimum fine of $1,000 per day for each day the violation continues, and if these fines accumulate to over $20,000, the property will be subject to a lien. If the property owner then fails to pay the lien and begin fixing the violation within thirty days of being notified, the county planning or permitting agency, or the Attorney General if the county fails to act, can initiate foreclosure proceedings on the property. This measure aims to ensure property owners fulfill their responsibilities regarding local zoning rules.
