Title

An Ordinance of the City Commission amending the Code of the City of Coral Gables, Florida, by amending Article Vii “Abandoned Real Property” of Chapter 34 “Nuisances”; providing for a repealer provision, severability clause, codification, and providing for an effective date.

 

Body

This Ordinance serves to clarifying some language in the City’s Abandoned Real Property ordinance.  Specifically, it provides a more precise definition of “abandoned real property,” adds a definition for “evidence of vacancy,” clarifies the definition of “owner,” and adds a definition for “vacant.” 

 

In addition, it clarifies the requirements of registration, adds the requirements that empty pools or those with a broken pump, be covered, and strengthens the recovery of fees provision.
