The Lake Clark Shores Code Enforcement Board voted Aug. 27 to record a $6,200 certified lien and additional liens against a property with repeated code violations and to impose a $250-per-day fine for an unpermitted pool repair.

Code enforcement officer Eric Rich Wagon told the board that recent inspections and photographs show ongoing violations at the property and that some violations had been corrected only after prior hearings. "Everything is still in violation," Eric said when summarizing the file; staff reported notices were posted to the property and mailed. The board moved and voted to record a certified copy of an order to impose a lien in the public records of Palm Beach County for case 25-0053; the clerk confirmed the lien amount at $6,200.

Separately, for case 25-0054 (overgrown backyard and open-storage issues), the board moved to record a lien after staff said the property had not shown meaningful effort to comply. For case 25-0202, regarding a pool in disrepair where no building permits or inspections had been filed, the board found the respondent failed to comply with the prior order and imposed a fine of $250 per day effective Aug. 27, 2025, to continue until compliance is achieved; the board also authorized assessment of the town’s prosecutorial costs.

Why it matters: the board’s actions centralize enforcement through recorded liens and daily fines, which build until property owners bring structures and yards into compliance or satisfy outstanding administrative obligations. Staff noted some items were corrected between meetings, but other violations were ongoing.

The board’s motions carried by voice vote; the minutes show no roll-call vote in the hearing transcript. Staff will record the liens in the Palm Beach County public records and proceed with collection steps if compliance is not achieved.
