The special magistrate found the property at 12213 Happyville Road in Youngstown in violation of Bay County Code Chapter 17 and ordered the respondent to demolish or repair the unfit primary structure and remove trash and derelict vehicles within 30 days.

Inspector Raymond Scott and staff presented photographs and an inspection timeline showing a heavily damaged primary wood‑frame structure with collapsed roof trusses and multiple accessory structures in similar disrepair. The record showed taxes delinquent and no recorded change in ownership; staff reported no communication from a lender or other owner representatives.

The magistrate specified that demolition requires a permit and that repairs require a full structural report and engineered repair drawings from a Florida licensed design professional, plus a detailed action plan and plan review before permits will be issued. All required inspections must be completed and permits finalized. Failure to comply within 30 days will trigger a $1,000 fine and lien authority; a compliance hearing is scheduled for Nov. 19, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. The magistrate recorded that photos and prior inspections support the finding.
