Summary
After finding 591 McMinn Road remained a chronic nuisance, the board authorized staff to contract for remediation at an estimated cost of $4,200 and to file a lien for repayment under N.C. Gen. Stat. §153A-104.2.
The Henderson County Board of Commissioners on April 6 authorized staff to contract for remediation of a property declared a chronic nuisance and to obtain a lien for the cost of cleanup.
Staff reminded the board its December 1, 2025 finding that the property at 591 McMinn Road met the county’s chronic nuisance standard under N.C. Gen. Stat. §153A-104.2 and said subsequent inspections found no improvement after certified notice and posting on the property. Staff presented an estimate showing the lowest cost to remove the nuisance items at $4,200 and reported the tax value of the property as $89,700.
Commissioners voted to authorize staff to contract for removal of the nuisance items, obtain a lien on the property and seek repayment pursuant to the statute. The action instructs staff to proceed with remediation and to pursue recovery of costs against the property owner under the county code and state statute.
The board’s action was limited to authorizing remediation and lien placement; no sale or additional enforcement action was recorded in the April 6 minutes.
