Huntersville enforces minimum housing and nuisance standards under N.C.G.S. 160D-1201 and the town code. Blighted conditions including structural decay, accumulated junk, and vermin harborage can trigger code enforcement and, if uncorrected, repair or demolition orders.
Huntersville Code Enforcement responds to complaints about deteriorated structures, accumulated debris, inoperable vehicles, and other nuisance conditions. Under N.C.G.S. 160D-1203, the town may issue an order to repair or demolish unsafe structures. Failure to comply can result in the town performing the work and placing a lien on the property for costs.
Civil penalties accrue daily after the compliance deadline. Town may perform abatement and lien property for costs plus administrative fees.
