Tim Justice, senior investigator for Bay County Code Enforcement, presented photographs and testimony showing overgrowth, appliances and other junk around what appears to be a single-wide mobile home. Justice said a prior magistrate had given the respondent five days to comply and, after noncompliance, fines and abatement authority followed. Code enforcement recommended the magistrate find the respondent failed to comply, impose the fines and authorize county staff and any hired contractors to abate and record costs as liens.

The magistrate accepted that recommendation, imposed the initial $300 fine and the $50 daily fine for noncompliance, and authorized staff to abate the nuisance and record abatement costs as liens against the property and other real or personal property owned by the respondents. The magistrate’s order directs that the Board of County Commissioners may assess abatement costs against the property pursuant to the Uniform Assessment Collection Act and chapter 21 of the Bay County Code.

No owner or representative appeared at the hearing to contest or address the photos and testimony; the magistrate concluded the matter and directed enforcement to proceed according to the order.","Bay County magistrate accepted code enforcement recommendations March 20, imposing an initial $300 fine and $50 daily penalty (totaling $1,550) and authorizing abatement and liens for the mobile home property identified in the record at 8813 (listed as Framar/Greenmore) Avenue.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6628194,"Magistrate waives $1,311.69 code-enforcement fine for 525 Elm Way owner",574,1442000,2016000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2720269-eb9cc46996b8b61c192f725019c13a3c&start=1442&end=2016","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2720269-eb9cc46996b8b61c192f725019c13a3c/thumbnail_1442000.jpg","/articles/6628194/Bay-County/Florida/Magistrate-waives-131169-code-enforcement-fine-for-525-Elm-Way-owner","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6628194-22d4ff1173bb7f79b4364aa07dca4232/orig.mp4?Expires=1774938015&Signature=giVt8~gxl~QImlCVFMw7c5G~oyiUu7tYcER0Nshwh1YAITZShfh0xzy0qISsIVSEEVJZCzb7R1T6ySAc-YXayLBwdg3RubHx38TTmUPh7QnkiMbblrUWxroOS0vGWJ0iWpdcroln29q0bwM5y2-bFzv7TxIF7ZgYaWWqHSSd8uCYbWBdm58o38~3RnEHDTmYQ4JsI5pDnVoOftK41weNjPjASgluH~mSIFByttaOQiCjTHaU31yazmUv~DV9FOHNEq8rnrjB~jWkJGz~SmEhDPDGqK8a-488NLKzpwQvrwAHK~KI9AvzQBVys-sVLNiMCZuXrYXwk3I4aBfEDkl91w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Bay County Special Magistrate Tiffany Sarto waived a $1,311.69 code-enforcement fine for the owner of 525 Elm Way during a March 20 hearing, after the owner described inheriting the property and obtaining satisfactions of certain hospital liens.

The owner, Donald Shroff, told the magistrate he had been awarded the property through probate and had arranged satisfaction of liens recorded by Bay County Hospital and another hospital. Shroff asked the magistrate to waive the code-enforcement fine and interest that had accrued. Sarto said, \"I'm going to reduce the fine down considering that this originally was your brother's property and you have since inherited and been through the probate issue, we're going to reduce that $13.11 69 down to 0 so that you're not going to pay the fine or any interest that was associated with it.\" (amount as stated in the record: $1,311.69).

Code enforcement staff noted that separate costs for abatement that appear through the tax collector are distinct from the fine Sarto waived; those tax-collector charges relate to abatement work performed and remain a separate matter for the tax collector's office. The magistrate advised Shroff to work with the tax collector to resolve any outstanding tax-collector assessments and confirmed the county's code-enforcement fine and interest were waived in this hearing.

The magistrate concluded the hearing by reducing the enforcement fine and interest to zero and invited the owner to follow up with the tax office regarding abatement costs that appear on the tax bill.","Bay County Special Magistrate Tiffany Sarto on March 20 reduced a code-enforcement fine of $1,311.69 to $0 for the owner of 525 Elm Way after the owner described inheriting the property and satisfying certain hospital liens; the magistrate noted abatement costs attached to taxes are separate.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6628198,"Magistrate orders cleanup, sets March 26 closing deadline for 9407 Indian Bluff Road",1391,84000,1475000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2720269-eb9cc46996b8b61c192f725019c13a3c&start=84&end=1475","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2720269-eb9cc46996b8b61c192f725019c13a3c/thumbnail_84000.jpg","/articles/6628198/Bay-County/Florida/Magistrate-orders-cleanup-sets-March-26-closing-deadline-for-9407-Indian-Bluff-Road","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6628198-fb3a8074b9720d95ac5223d8b8867de7/orig.mp4?Expires=1774938016&Signature=OZs5XA8mt8tRNEWK8UUaBte4HVdyuvPYVGMMUyH4xigmFqEtt2HHRqohKjRdseAzsTIZlmz-YQXhiBQjLKw1Lxyw1Pp-n2kUg21~SO~qEW-OPMhd3HmMtbOaU9yYYNSKJWQ98tIbOxaQ93qT3qO5Lwcl59qeJQK0aG7kN8HqkYMkaqJEXqbf6h9Qg9J~Zg8iBalAX9aIG1IeY-fVjCh0vlAwzV1Cl27jgcKQ49QaMEIiiyEDylzsT-BJ0Z0rWNjzupae1psRjPtc69o97B3hwvYUKlN6JGozSJXSg0UtIYBWctkr7s48Io~YZjGQQ4sCeALjXcb3ImArJzPHhfAumA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Bay County Special Magistrate Tiffany Sarto ordered the front-yard appliances and overgrowth at 9407 Indian Bluff Road removed by midnight on Sunday, March 23, and set a deadline of midnight on March 26 for the property to transfer ownership, during a March 20 compliance hearing.

The magistrate said the county would inspect the property and wants the front yard cleaned and the structure secured before the transfer. \"My thought is that on March 26, by midnight, this needs to have closed,\" Sarto said, and she said she wanted \"the appliances and the overgrowth in the front yard taken care of by the end of Sunday at midnight.\" The magistrate scheduled a follow-up compliance hearing for April 10 at 1:00 p.m. and said staff would inspect the property on March 24 to confirm progress.

Owner Kelly Dyer told the magistrate she had a signed offer and expected a closing on March 26 and said she had provided the requested proof. Prospective buyer Austin Savage said he and a contractor had begun removing debris and planned a dump trailer for further cleanup that weekend; he said interior work and permit applications would follow after the purchase. Neighbor Steve Zantz, who lives across the street, told the magistrate he and other neighbors welcomed a buyer willing to renovate the house but wanted assurance the sale would close so code compliance would not be indefinitely delayed.

Sarto told the parties she expected the yard cleaned and unsecured items (notably appliances and loose garage doors) removed or made secure to avoid liability from injury or trespass. She said that if the property did not transfer by March 26, the previously issued magistrate order would be found to be not complied with and related enforcement actions could follow. The magistrate invited the parties to call code enforcement with questions and said owners or the current property representative should provide an update at the April 10 hearing; she permitted a phone appearance for that check-in.

The record shows code enforcement will perform an inspection after the weekend deadline and that staff is authorized to abate nuisances and place costs as liens if violations remain. The magistrate explicitly required whoever owns the property on April 10 to report on permits, engineering involvement and the status of securing and cleaning the front yard.","At a March 20 Bay County special magistrate hearing, Magistrate Tiffany Sarto ordered the front-yard appliances and overgrowth at 9407 Indian Bluff Road be removed by midnight March 23 and set a property-transfer deadline of midnight March 26; the matter is continued to a compliance hearing on April 10.","actionData","errors"]
