Commission authorizes lawsuit to enforce junk and debris regulations at a property on Alabama Highway 99
Summary
After a lengthy compliance history, the county authorized pursuing a lawsuit to enforce nuisance and junk/debris regulations for property at the corner of Myers Road and Alabama Highway 99 due to repeated failures by the property owner to remediate the site.
The Limestone County Commission reviewed a long‑running code enforcement matter involving a property at the corner of Myers Road and Alabama Highway 99 (address read as 1989 Alabama Highway 99) and authorized pursuing legal enforcement to resolve persistent junk and debris issues.
Staff and the health department have tried to work with the property owner for an extended period, the chair said, but the condition repeatedly improves then worsens. The commission described the proposed action as a last option to enforce the county’s junkyard regulations and related licensing and permitting requirements for the site.
No further details about the proposed complaint—such as filing timelines or legal counsel assignments—were read into the record beyond the authorization to move forward; the chair and staff framed the lawsuit as the next step if voluntary compliance efforts fail.
