Special master orders retroactive and ongoing fines in repeat junk‑and‑debris case

Citrus County Code Compliance Hearing (Special Master) · August 19, 2026

Summary

The special master imposed $250 per day retroactive to the date of posting and continuing until abated in a repeat case where repeated inspections found junk and suspected squatters on the property; county asked for retroactive and ongoing fines to encourage abatement.

In a repeat enforcement case the county presented a history of recurring junk and debris at a single residential parcel and said the property had previously been found in violation and later abated. The county reported continued reaccumulation of trash, tools and tires across multiple inspections; the officer said there is reason to suspect squatters occupy the property and that the owners have not been reachable to coordinate abatement.

The special master found cause to order $250 per day covering the 56 days from the initial posting through the latest inspection and continued $250 per day until abated. The order directs county staff to pursue citations or summons for people observed at the property as necessary and to document abatement activity moving forward.
