Ocoee code board orders fines, continuances across eight cases; several property owners given time to comply

The Ocoee Code Enforcement Board on Aug. 21, 2025, continued three enforcement cases and found multiple properties in violation of city codes, setting compliance deadlines and daily fines for unresolved violations.

The board’s actions addressed unpermitted construction, work done without building permits, inoperable vehicles and parking on non‑surfaced areas, overgrown vegetation, junk and debris, and broken or inoperable windows at properties across the city. Most motions passed unanimously.

The board’s rulings included continuances to allow property owners time to pursue permits or complete repairs, and findings of violation that carry fines of $25–$50 per day per violation until the cited issues are resolved. Several property owners or their representatives spoke at the meeting and told the board they were taking steps to comply.
