Levy special assessments on properties with unpaid code violation fines

Police & Community Safety

In Plain English

Some property owners have unpaid bills for code violations like overgrown weeds, illegal dumping, or unsafe buildings. The city can add these unpaid fines to property tax bills as special assessments. If approved, affected property owners must pay the fines along with their regular property taxes or face foreclosure.
