The Code Enforcement Division will only abate violations that are defined as nuisances. The following actions may be taken to abate nuisances:
The owner or other affected individual must either remove or abate the nuisance within ten (10) days or request a hearing pursuant to Section 2-245 of the Fort Pierce Code of Ordinances. Failure to either remove the nuisance or to request a hearing will be deemed a waiver of the right to a hearing and the City will then cause an immediate removal or abatement of the nuisance. The owner or affected individual will be liable for the costs of removal, abatement, storage, disposition and publication of notice. Such costs may be imposed as a lien on the property if not otherwise paid within thirty (30) days after receipt of the billing.
The request for hearing must be made in writing. Please be sure to include the property address and case number you are requesting a hearing for. You may submit your request by one of the following methods:
