Magistrate orders payment of $499 for county abatement at 1940 Sherman Avenue; cost to become lien
Summary
After finding noncompliance, the magistrate ordered that the county's abatement cost of $499 for cleanup at 1940 Sherman Avenue be recorded as a lien on the property and any other real or personal property owned by the respondent.
The magistrate ordered payment of $499 in abatement costs for cleanup performed at 1940 Sherman Avenue and directed that, once recorded, the cost be a lien on the subject property and any other real or personal property owned by the respondent in Bay County.
The record shows a prior compliance hearing in January 2025 found the property noncompliant, and the county contracted cleanup work that was performed with a cost of $499. Notices of intent and final hearing were mailed and posted in accordance with county procedures. The magistrate found the respondent had been properly noticed and ordered payment of the abatement cost, which will accrue statutory interest until paid and will be recorded as a lien when the final order is recorded in county records.
The magistrate cited the Uniform Assessment Collection Act and Chapter 21 of the Bay County Code as authority to assess and collect the costs and directed staff to record the lien upon entry of the final order.
