4. Code Enforcement Lien Waiver Request

May 5, 2026 City Council Regular Session · 2026-05-05 · agenda_item

This notice is about a property at 1422 Plymouth Avenue in Mount Dora, Florida, that has been cited for code violations including overgrown vegetation and accumulated trash, junk, and debris. The property owner was previously ordered to bring the property into compliance. The City is now recommending a civil fine and seeking the ability to perform "self-help" to bring the property into compliance, with all costs passed to the owner. This process is currently under review by the City Council. If approved, the city may hire contractors to clear the vegetation, remove debris, and potentially make exterior repairs. This work could involve site clearing, debris removal, and general property maintenance. Local contractors, landscapers, and waste removal services may find opportunities as this situation progresses through the city's review process. Early engagement could be beneficial before specific work orders are issued.
