The maintenance of vegetation in this easement is the responsibility of the abutting property owners.
This reported issue could be identified as a private property owner's responsibility and, as such, would be a potential violation of the municipal property code. These reports must be resubmitted using the SeeClickFix category labeled ‘Codes Compliance.’ You may also call your report to the Codes Compliance Department at 727-893-7373. Either way, you will be asked to provide your name and address.
The City cannot investigate Code Compliance requests from anonymous sources. On June 29, 2021, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed Senate Bill 60 into law, which no longer allows code enforcement officers to investigate anonymous complaints. All code enforcement reports must include the complainant’s personal information, including name and address.
The 2021 law states, “A person designated as a code inspector may not initiate an investigation of a potential violation of a duly enacted code or ordinance by way of an anonymous complaint. A person who reports a potential violation of a code or an ordinance must provide his or her name and address to the governing body of the respective board of county commissioners before an investigation occurs.”
Please resubmit your SeeClickFix with the "Codes Compliance" category and include your full name and address in the mandatory fields.
