Deltona City Council imposes $50 daily fine for property code violations

In a recent Special Magistrate Hearing held on June 25, 2025, the City of Deltona took decisive action to address property compliance issues, emphasizing the importance of maintaining community standards. The magistrate ruled that a property owner must bring their property into compliance by July 11, 2025, or face a fine of $50 per day for each day the violation continues.

The case centered around a property that was found in violation of city codes, specifically regarding the placement of vehicles. The magistrate initially considered a more substantial fine of $100 per day but ultimately decided on a reduced penalty, reflecting a balance between enforcement and the time needed for compliance. The property owner is required to contact the city’s code compliance inspector to confirm adherence to the order.

In another case, the city addressed fire safety violations at Deltona Wellness LP, located at 1200 Deltona Boulevard. The fire safety inspector highlighted the necessity for all fire protection systems to be maintained in reliable operating condition, as mandated by the Florida Fire Prevention Code. This case underscores the city’s commitment to ensuring public safety through strict adherence to fire codes.

These actions reflect Deltona's proactive approach to maintaining safety and compliance within the community, reinforcing the importance of timely responses to code violations. The city aims to foster a safe environment for all residents, with ongoing efforts to ensure that properties meet established standards.
