Public Works Violations

The most common violations are abandoned/inoperable vehicles, overgrowth, trash and debris, and open storage. The Town can clean and clear vacant lots after the required legal notification is made to the owner. The Town will assess the actual cost/expense plus an administrative fee against the property imposing a special assessment lien.
