How code enforcement generally works in Florida
Code enforcement is local. A city enforces its own code inside its limits, and the county handles the unincorporated area, so the office that sent your notice depends on exactly where the property is.
A notice usually names the violation and gives a date to correct it. If it is not corrected in time, the case is usually set for a hearing before a special magistrate or a code enforcement board, under Chapter 162 of the Florida Statutes and the local code. Fines can be set at that stage, and an order imposing a fine can be recorded in the county's official records, where it becomes a lien on the property.
This is general information, not legal advice. For questions about a hearing, a fine or a lien, contact the office named on your notice or a Florida attorney.
