Owner absent; magistrate finds unpermitted work and records compliance after permit paid for 85374 Lindsey K Court
Summary
Nassau County found unpermitted porch work at 85374 Lindsey K Court; the county recorded that the owner later obtained an approved permit and achieved compliance outside the required timeframe, and the magistrate ordered a written finding to that effect.
Nassau County Code Enforcement Special Magistrate Harrison Poole on July 8, 2025 found that unpermitted work occurred at 85374 Lindsey K Court, Yulee, but that the property achieved compliance on July 1, 2025 after the owner paid for an approved permit. The magistrate said compliance was achieved outside the notice period and that a written order reflecting those findings will be issued.
Officer Travis Taylor told the magistrate the county received a complaint on Oct. 1, 2024 about unpermitted work related to a porch overhang. Taylor said he issued a courtesy letter on Oct. 7, 2024 and a notice of violation on Oct. 23, 2024 after an Oct. 21 reinspection. Taylor described efforts over several months to work with the owner, who lacked transportation and was on a fixed income; Taylor said the building department staff assisted so the owner could obtain an approved permit for the work and that, on July 1, 2025, the owner came to the building department to pay and secure the approved permit.
No one appeared at the hearing on behalf of the property owner, identified in records as J M Frank. Taylor said the county acknowledged the extended period during which the owner attempted to obtain proper identification and resolve permit issues and that those steps ultimately led to compliance. The magistrate said he would issue a written order finding the property was initially in violation but that compliance has been achieved outside the time provided in the notices.
Documents and photographs in the county record were admitted without objection. The written order will be mailed or posted consistent with the magistrate's practice.
