Code Enforcement Hearings - Special Master Hearings · 2026-04-30 · agenda_item

Sumter County is reviewing a code violation case concerning an alleged operation of an internet cafe without a valid permit at 13940 US 441 in Lady Lake. The property is a commercial office space of 9,583.2 square feet on 0.22 acres. The violation has continued despite attempts to gain compliance, and the case is proceeding to a Special Master hearing. This process could lead to orders for immediate cessation of operations, daily fines, and payment of staff costs. While no new construction is planned, the resolution of this code enforcement matter may involve legal services for compliance, potential property management adjustments, or future business operations that adhere to county zoning regulations for internet cafes, which require specific separation distances from residential properties. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should monitor this case as its resolution could signal future opportunities for businesses seeking to operate legally within Sumter County's zoning framework.
