Summary

A Deltona property in an R-1 zone was ordered to remove or relocate a parked trailer from the front yard within 14 days or face $25 per day fines; the magistrate confirmed the zoning and applied the relevant parking restriction.

The special magistrate ordered the owner of 1740 Fort Smith Blvd. to move a trailer parked in the front yard to a permitted parking area behind the front face of the house or remove it from the property within 14 days, or face a $25-per-day fine.

Code compliance officer Jo Samar Jimenez said the trailer had been observed in the front yard on multiple inspections beginning March 15, 2025, and that registration for the trailer was current. The city sent certified notices and reinspection attempts and documented the trailer's presence through April and May.

The magistrate asked staff to confirm the property's zoning; after a brief recess staff confirmed the lot is zoned R-1, which the magistrate said prohibits such front-yard trailer parking in this case. Jimenez told the magistrate the city requested 14 days for compliance and proposed $25 per day fines.

The magistrate ordered correction by 4 p.m. on June 11, 2025 (14 days) and imposed $25 per day fines for each day the trailer remained in violation. The respondent was ordered to contact the code compliance inspector to verify compliance.
