Citrus County's Code Compliance Special Master meeting on May 15, 2024, highlighted significant enforcement actions against property violations, with a focus on timely compliance and penalties.

In a notable case, property owner Michael Holland was granted a 60-day extension to address outstanding violations related to his building permits, which are currently under review due to flood zone regulations. The county recommended a fine of $100 per day if compliance is not achieved within the stipulated timeframe. Holland acknowledged the remaining issues but expressed confidence in meeting the deadline.

Another case involved Naughty Time LLC, which faced scrutiny for operating an unpermitted ice machine and converting a takeout restaurant into a sit-down establishment without the necessary permits. Code officials presented evidence from inspections, revealing ongoing violations. The Special Master decided to impose a 30-day compliance period, also with a $100 daily fine for non-compliance.

These discussions underscore Citrus County's commitment to enforcing building codes and ensuring public safety, as officials continue to address violations that could impact community standards. The outcomes of these cases will be closely monitored as the deadlines approach, reflecting the county's proactive stance on code compliance.
