Hernando County code compliance acts on nuisance properties - junk, debris, overgrown grass over 18 inches, and inoperable vehicles left over 30 days. Owners get written notice and a deadline before fines and abatement.
Hernando County's code-compliance division addresses conditions that blight neighborhoods across the unincorporated areas from Spring Hill to Brooksville: accumulations of household trash bags, decaying vegetation, and exposed salvageable material like appliances and furniture (Chapter 15); grass and weeds over 18 inches within 100 feet of improved property; inoperable or abandoned vehicles left in the open more than 30 days (Chapter 20); and storm-damaged material left uncleared after hurricanes. The owner receives a written notice with a compliance deadline. If it isn't fixed, the code-enforcement board can impose daily fines, and the county may abate the condition and lien the property for the cost.
Written notice sets a compliance deadline. Unabated violations bring code-enforcement board fines that accrue daily, plus county abatement with costs liened against the property.
