If any lot, area, or parcel of land within the City is found to

Chapter 162 of the Florida Statutes states that a Code
Compliance Officer must, through his or her own
personal investigation, verify that a violation exists at the
property.
If the officer is unable to verify a violation exists, the case is
closed as unfounded.
If a violation does exist, the officer must make the
determination as to how best to bring the property into
compliance.
It is the City's desire to obtain voluntary compliance via
education.
Each violation must be looked at on a case-by-case basis
to determine how best to gain voluntary compliance in the
least amount of time.
Since voluntary compliance is not always possible, each
case must be worked with the understanding that it may
end up in court before a County Judge or in front of the
City's Special Magistrate.
Methods - Once a violation
is verified, the person in
charge of the property is
notified and given
information on how to
correct the violation in a
reasonable amount of time.
If the property continues to
be in violation, the Code Compliance Officer has a
number of options to bring about compliance. These
actions include:
Parking-ticket
Citation (goes to County Court)
Officers are authorized to issue citations under Chapter
162, Florida Statutes.
A judge in a county civil court hears the facts and
determines under the law whether or not the alleged
violator committed the alleged violation.
A violation of a code of ordinance is a civil infraction with
a maximum civil penalty not to exceed $500.
Notice of Hearing (goes before the Special Magistrate)
Special Magistrate is a quasi-judicial body whose
creation is enabled by Chapter 162, Florida Statutes.
The Special Magistrate hears the facts and determines
whether or not the alleged violator committed the
alleged violation.
9
The City of Deltona Special Magistrate is an attorney
under contract with the City and is authorized to
impose administrative fines and other noncriminal
penalties to provide an equitable, expeditious, effective,
and inexpensive method of enforcing any codes and
ordinances in force within Deltona. The maximum fine
the Special Magistrate can apply is $250 per day, $500
per day for a repeat violation.
A repeat violation is the same violator with the same
violation. Not necessarily the same address.
Abatement (City hires a contractor to clean the property,
cut the grass or tow a vehicle)
Abatements are authorized under Chapter 38 of the City
Ordinances.
Normally used for vacant properties and undeveloped
lots with nuisance weeds, accumulation of waste, yard
trash, rubble, and debris.
Officer provides property owner notice and allows time
to clean the property. If the owner does not correct the
violation, the City will hire a contractor to abate/clean
the nuisance property.
