Summary

The Morgan County Board of Commissioners discussed Section 58‑81 of the County Code March 3, which addresses wrecked, dilapidated, and inoperative items on private property.
The ordinance language in the minutes states it is unlawful for an owner or occupant to keep junked, dismantled, rusted, wrecked, or inoperative items—including motor vehicles—on private property unless those items are fully contained within a lawful building.
