During the Citrus County Code Compliance Special Master meeting on May 15, 2024, significant discussions centered around property violations and compliance timelines, directly impacting local residents and property owners.

One of the key cases addressed involved a property at 1500 West Sunturf Street, owned by Haven Star. Compliance Officer Timothy Williams presented evidence of a violation concerning the lack of necessary permits for construction modifications. The owner acknowledged the violation and expressed efforts to rectify the situation by coordinating with a mobile home service. The Special Master granted a 60-day period for the owner to either connect the property to utilities or obtain a waiver, with a stipulation that failure to comply would result in a daily fine of $50.

This decision highlights the county's commitment to enforcing building codes while also providing property owners with a reasonable opportunity to address violations. The approach aims to balance regulatory compliance with support for residents striving to meet local standards.

In addition to this case, the meeting included discussions on other compliance issues, although details were less pronounced. The overall focus remained on ensuring that property owners understand their obligations and the consequences of non-compliance.

As Citrus County continues to navigate these compliance matters, the outcomes of such meetings are crucial for maintaining community standards and supporting residents in their efforts to adhere to local regulations. The next steps will involve monitoring compliance progress and addressing any further violations that may arise.
