CDi:l Supp. No. 30 xx Checklist of Up -to -Date Pages (This checklist will be updated with the printing of each Supplement) From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a page -for -page substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage and supplementation many pages can be inserted and removed in error. The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user to determine whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of each page. In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second column reflects the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an up-to-date volume. The letters "OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the Supplement Service and appear as published for the original Code. When a page has been reprinted or printed in the Supplement Service, this column reflects the identification number or Supplement Number printed on the bottom of the page. In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used in compiling an up-to-date copy from the original Code and subsequent Supplements.

Violator shall mean the person or entity legally responsible for a code violation, including, but not limited to; owners and lessees of property on which a violation has occurred. (Code 1982, § 1-2-20; Ord. No. 87-19, pt. A, 6-2-1987; Ord. No. 87-71, pt. A, 10-13-1987; Ord. No. 89-63, pt. A, 9-26-1989; Ord. No. 03-11, pt. A, 8-19-2003; Ord. No. 25-013, § 2, 7-1-2025) State law reference —Similar provisions, F.S. § 162.04. Sec. 1-73. Organization (a) Code enforcement board. (1) Composition; qualification of members. Until December 31, 2025, the board of county commissioners shall appoint, by resolution, a seven -member code enforcement board. The board of county commissioners may appoint up to two alternate members to serve on the enforcement board in the absence of enforcement board members. Members or alternate members of the enforcement board shall be residents of the county. Appointments shall be made in accordance with applicable laws and ordinances, on the basis of experience and interest in the fields of zoning and Supp. No. 30 CD1:10 GENERAL PROVISIONS § 1-73 building control. The membership of the enforcement board shall, whenever possible, include an architect, a businessman, an engineer, a general contractor, a subcontrac- tor, and a realtor. (2) Appointment of members; terms; vacancies; failure to attend meetings. a. All appointments shall be made for terms of three years. Each one of the five county commissioners shall individually appoint one member of the enforce- ment board. The board of county commissioners shall collectively appoint the other two members of the enforcement board. Enforcement board members collectively appointed by the board of county commissioners shall not serve more than two consecutive full three-year terms. Enforcement board members individually appointed by one county commissioner may serve more than two consecutive terms. However, when a county commissioner leaves office, his successor may replace the member appointed by his predecessor with an individual of his choosing who shall complete the unexpired term of the replaced member. At the completion of the unexpired term, the county commissioner shall determine whether to reappoint the individual or replace him with another individual of his choosing. If the board of county commission- ers determines that alternate members are necessary to the proper functioning of the enforcement board the board of county commissioners shall collectively appoint one or two alternate members who shall not serve more than two consecutive full three-year terms. If two alternate members are appointed, service on the enforcement board shall be alternated between the two as needed. b. Appointments to fill any vacancy on the enforcement board shall be for the remainder of the unexpired term of office. If any member fails to attend two of three successive meetings without cause and without prior approval of the chairperson, the enforcement board shall declare the member's office vacant. Any member of the enforcement board may be removed for cause by the board of county commissioners at any time; provided, however, that before such removal such member shall be provided written charges and given an opportunity to appear in his defense at a public meeting. Upon removal of a member or vacancy created upon a member's resignation or declaration of the enforcement board, the board of county commissioners shall promptly fill the vacancy if the member was one of the two appointed collectively by the board of county commissioners. If the member was individually appointed by one county commissioner, that commissioner shall promptly fill the vacancy. (3) The members of the enforcement board shall elect a chairperson, who shall be a voting member, from among the members of the board. The presence of four or more members shall constitute a quorum of the enforcement board. Members shall serve without compensation, but may be reimbursed for such travel, mileage, and per diem expenses as may be authorized by the board of county commissioners. Supp. No. 30 CD1:11 § 1-73 ST. LUCIE COUNTY CODE (4) The attorney for the board of county commissioners shall present cases before the enforcement board. Private counsel shall be retained to represent the enforcement board. (5) Effective August 15, 2025 the jurisdiction of the code enforcement board to hear and adjudicate code enforcement matters is limited to residential matters brought forth by the county through December 31, 2025. As of January 1, 2026, the enforcement board requirements and authority set forth in this section no longer apply. (b) Special magistrate. (1) Creation. There is created the position of special magistrate as authorized by F.S. Chapter 162. (2) Appointment. The county attorney is authorized to appoint a special magistrate. (3) Qualifications. The special magistrate shall be: a. A retired Florida judge; or b. A member of the Florida Bar in good standing for a minimum of (5) years. (4) Jurisdiction. The special magistrate shall have the authority to hear and decide cases involving alleged violation of: a. Any county codes, land development regulations, or other ordinances of the county. b. Any condition of any development order. C. Any statute, code, rule, or regulation incorporated in the St. Lucie County Code by reference. (c) The authority granted herein is not exclusive and shall not prohibit the county from enforcing its codes by other legal means. (Code 1982, § 1-2-21; Ord. No. 87-19, pt. A, 6-2-1987; Ord.

No. 25-013, § 2, 7-1-2025) State law reference —Code enforcement board membership and organization, F.S. § 162.05. Sec. 1-74. Enforcement procedure. (a) It shall be the duty of the code inspector to initiate enforcement proceedings of the various codes. No member of the enforcement board shall have the power to initiate such enforcement proceedings. The special magistrate shall not have the power to initiate such enforcement proceedings. (b) A code inspector may not initiate enforcement proceedings for 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 respective local government before an enforcement proceeding may occur. This paragraph Supp. No. 30 CD1:12 GENERAL PROVISIONS § 1-74 does not apply if the code inspector has reason to believe that the violation presents an imminent threat to public health, safety, or welfare or imminent destruction of habitat or sensitive resources. (c) Except as provided in subsections (d) and (e) of this section, if a violation of the code is found, the code inspector shall notify the violator and give him a reasonable time to correct the violation. Should the violation continue beyond the time specified for correction, the code inspector shall request a hearing. The county shall schedule a hearing, and written notice of such hearing shall be hand delivered or mailed as provided in section 1-80 to said violator. At the option of the county, notice may additionally be served by publication or posting as provided in section 1-80. If the violation is corrected and then recurs, or if the violation is not corrected by the time specified for correction by the code inspector, the case may be presented even if the violation has been corrected prior to the hearing, and the notice shall so state. (d) If the code inspector has reason to believe a violation or the condition causing the violation presents a serious threat to the public health, safety, and welfare, or if the violation is irreparable or irreversible in nature, the code inspector shall make a reasonable effort to notify the violator and may immediately request a hearing. (e) If a repeat violation is found, the code inspector shall notify the violator but is not required to give the violator a reasonable time to correct the violation. The code inspector, upon notifying the violator of a repeat violation, shall request a hearing. The county shall schedule a hearing and shall provide notice to said violator pursuant to section 1-80. The case may be presented even if the repeat violation has been corrected prior to the hearing, and the notice shall so state. If the repeat violation has been corrected, the county retains the right to schedule a hearing to determine costs and impose the payment of reasonable enforcement fees upon the repeat violator. The repeat violator may choose to waive his rights to this hearing and pay said costs. (f) If the owner of property which is subject to an enforcement proceeding transfers ownership of such property between the time the initial notice of violation was served and the time of the hearing, such owner shall: (1) Disclose, in writing, the existence and the nature of the proceeding to the prospective transferee. (2) Deliver to the prospective transferee a copy of the pleadings, notices, and other materials relating to the code enforcement proceeding received by the transferor. (3) Disclose, in writing, to the prospective transferee that the new owner will be responsible for compliance with the applicable code and with orders issued in the code enforcement proceeding. (4) File a notice with the code enforcement official of the transfer of the property, with the identity and address of the new owner and copies of the disclosures made to the new owner, within five days after the date of the transfer. Supp. No. 30 CD1:13 § 1-74 ST. LUCIE COUNTY CODE (g) A failure to make the disclosures as provided in subsections (f)(1), (2), and (3) of this section before the transfer creates a refutable presumption of fraud. If the property is transferred before the hearing, the proceeding shall not be dismissed, but the new owner shall be provided a reasonable period of time to correct the violation before the hearing is held.

If the county prevails in prosecuting a case, the county shall be entitled to recover all costs incurred in prosecuting the case and such costs may be included in the lien authorized under section 1-77. (c) All testimony shall be under oath and shall be recorded. Testimony from the code inspector and alleged violator shall be taken. Formal rules of evidence shall not apply, but fundamental due process shall be observed and shall govern the proceedings. (d) At the conclusion of the hearing, an order containing findings of fact, based on evidence of record and conclusions of law, shall be issued affording the proper relief consistent with powers granted herein. If made by the enforcement board, the finding shall be by motion approved by a majority of those members present and voting, except that at least four members of the enforcement board must vote for an action to be official. The order may include a notice that it must be complied with by a specified date, and that a fine may be imposed, and, under the conditions specified in section 1-77, the cost of repairs may be included along with the fine if the order is not complied with by said date. A certified copy of such order may be recorded in the public records of the county and shall constitute notice to any subsequent purchasers, successors in interest, or assigns if the violation concerns real property, and the findings therein shall be binding upon the violator and, if the violation concerns real property, any subsequent purchasers, successors in interest or assigns. If an order is recorded in the public records pursuant to this subsection and the order is complied with by the date specified in the order, an order acknowledging compliance that shall be recorded in the public records. A hearing is not required to issue such an order acknowledg- ing compliance. (Code 1982, § 1-2-23; Ord. No. 87-19, pt. A, 6-2-1987; Ord. No. 87-71, pt. A, 10-13-1987; Ord. No. 89-63, pt.

Powers. The enforcement board and special magistrate shall have the power to: (1) Adopt rules for the conduct of hearings. (2) Subpoena alleged violators and witnesses to its hearings. Subpoenas may be served by the sheriff of the county. (3) Subpoena evidence to its hearings. (4) Take testimony under oath. (5) Issue orders having the force of law to command whatever steps are necessary to bring a violation into compliance. (Code 1982, § 1-2-24; Ord. No. 87-19, pt. A, 6-2-1987; Ord. No. 87-71, pt.

Administrative fines; costs of repair; liens. (a) Upon notification by the code inspector that a previous code enforcement order has not been complied with by the set time, or upon finding that a repeat violation has been committed, the violator may be ordered to pay a fine in an amount specified in this section for each day the violation continues past the date set by the prior order for compliance or in the case of a repeat violation, for each day the repeat violation continues beginning with the date the repeat violation is found to have occurred by the code inspector. In addition, if the violation is a violation described in subsection 1-74(d) the county may make all reasonable repairs which are required to bring the property into compliance and charge the violator with the reasonable cost of the repairs along with the fine imposed pursuant to this section. Making such repairs does not create a continuing obligation on the part of the board of county commissioners to make further repairs or to maintain the property and does not create any liability against the board of county commissioners for any damages to the property if such repairs were completed in good faith. If a finding of a violation or a repeat violation has been made as provided in this division, a hearing shall not be necessary for issuance of the order imposing the fine. If a violation is found to be irreparable or irreversible in nature, the violator may be ordered to pay a fine as specified in subsection (b)(1) of this section. (b) Amount of fines. (1) A fine imposed pursuant to this section shall not exceed $250.00 per day for a first violation and shall not exceed $500.00 per day for a repeat violation, and, in addition, may include all costs of repairs pursuant to subsection (a) of this section. However, if the violation is deemed to be irreparable or irreversible in nature, a fine not to exceed $5,000.00 per violation may be imposed. Supp. No. 30 CD1:15 § 1-77 ST. LUCIE COUNTY CODE (2) The following factors shall be considered when determining the amount of the fine, if any: a. The gravity of the violation; b. Any actions taken by the violator to correct the violation; and C. Any previous violations committed by the violator. (3) The enforcement board and/or special magistrate may reduce a fine imposed pursuant to this section. (c) A certified copy of an order imposing a fine or a fine plus repair costs may be recorded in the public records and thereafter shall constitute a lien against the land on which the violation exists and upon any other real or personal property owned by the violator. Upon petition to the circuit court, such order shall be enforceable in the same manner as a court judgment by the sheriffs of the state, including execution and levy against the personal property of the violator, but such order shall not be deemed to be a court judgment except for enforcement purposes. A fine imposed pursuant to this article shall continue to accrue until the violator comes into compliance or until judgment is rendered in a suit to foreclose on a lien filed pursuant to this section, whichever occurs first. After three months from the filing of any such lien which remains unpaid, the county may foreclose on the lien or to sue to recover a money judgment for the amount of the lien plus accrued interest. No lien created pursuant to the provisions of this division may be foreclosed on real property which is a homestead under section 4, article X of the State Constitution. The money judgment provisions of this section shall not apply to real property or personal property which is covered under section 4(a), article X of the State Constitution.

No lien provided by this division shall continue for a period longer than 20 years after the certified copy of an order imposing a fine has been recorded, unless within that time an action is commenced pursuant to section 1-77 in a court of competent jurisdiction. In an action to foreclose on a lien or for a money judgment, the prevailing party is entitled to recover all costs, including a reasonable attorney's fee that it incurs in the action. The board of county commissioners shall be entitled to collect all costs incurred in recording and satisfying a valid lien. The continuation of the lien affected by the commencement of the action shall not be good against creditors or subsequent purchasers for valuable consideration without notice, unless a notice of lis pendens is recorded.

Such appeal shall not be a hearing de novo, but shall be limited to appellate review of the record created at the code enforcement hearing. An appeal shall be filed within 30 days of the execution of the order to be appealed. (Code 1982, § 1-2-27.1; Ord. No. 87-71, pt. A, 10-13-1987; Ord. No. 03-11, pt. A, 8-19-2003; Ord.

For property owned by a corporation, notices may be provided by certified mail to the registered agent of the corporation. If any notice sent by certified mail is not signed as received within 30 days after the date of mailing, notice may be provided by posting as described in subsection (b)(2) of this section; (2) Hand delivery by the sheriff or other law enforcement officer, code inspector, or other person designated by the county; (3) Leaving the notice at the violator's usual place of residence with any person residing therein who is above 15 years of age and informing such person of the contents of the notice; or (4) In the case of commercial premises, leaving the notice with the manager or other person in charge. (b) In addition to providing notice as set forth in subsection (a) of this section, notice may also be served by publication or posting, as follows: (1) Such notice shall be published in print in a newspaper or on a publicly accessible website as provided in F.S. § 50.0311 for four consecutive weeks.

LUCIE COUNTY CODE at the front door of the county courthouse or the county administrative center. Proof of posting shall be by affidavit of the person posting the notice, which affidavit shall include a copy of the notice posted and the date and places of its posting. (3) Notice by publication or posting may run concurrently with, or may follow, an attempt to provide notice by hand delivery or by mail as required under subsection (a) of this section. (c) Evidence that an attempt has been made to hand deliver or mail notice as provided in subsection (a) of this section, together with proof of publication or posting as provided in subsection (b) of this section, shall be sufficient to show that the notice requirements of this division have been met, without regard to whether or not the alleged violator actually received such notice.

This supplemental procedure for enforcing county's codes is hereby established pursuant to the provisions of F.S. ch. 162, pt. II. (1) Enforcement procedure. a. A code enforcement officer is authorized to issue a citation to a person when, based upon personal investigation, the officer has reasonable cause to believe that the person has committed a civil infraction in violation of a duly enacted code or ordinance and that the county court will hear the charge. Supp. No. 30 CD1:18 GENERAL PROVISIONS § 1-98 b. A code enforcement officer 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 respective local government before an investigation may occur. This paragraph does not apply if the code enforcement officer has reason to believe that the violation presents an imminent threat to public health, safety, or welfare or imminent destruction of habitat or sensitive resources. C. Prior to issuing a citation, a code enforcement officer shall provide notice to the person that the person has committed a violation of a code or ordinance and shall establish a reasonable time period within which the person must correct the violation. Such time period shall be no more than 30 days. If, upon personal investigation, a code enforcement officer finds that the person has not corrected the violation within the time period, a code enforcement officer may issue a citation to the person who has committed the violation. If the code enforcement officer is unable to hand deliver the citation, the code compliance department shall send a violation letter along with the citation via certified mail to the violator. Failure to accept delivery of the certified letter and citation shall be considered a willful refusal to sign for and accept issuance of the citation. A code enforcement officer does not have to provide the person with a reasonable time period to correct the violation prior to issuing a citation and may immediately issue a citation if a repeat violation is found or if the code enforcement officer has reason to believe that the violation presents a serious threat to the public health, safety, or welfare, or if the violation is irreparable or irreversible. d. A citation issued by a code enforcement officer shall be in a form prescribed by the county and shall contain: 1. The date and time of issuance. 2. The name and address of the person to whom the citation is issued. 3. The date and time the civil infraction was committed. 4. The facts constituting reasonable cause. 5. The number or section of the code or ordinance violated. 6. The name and authority of the code enforcement officer. 7. The procedure for the person to follow in order to pay the civil penalty or to contest the citation. 8. The applicable civil penalty if the person elects not to contest the citation. 9. The applicable civil penalty if the person elects to contest the citation. 10. A conspicuous statement that if the person fails to pay the civil penalty within the time allowed, or fails to appear in court to contest the citation, Supp. No. 30 CD1:19 § 1-98 ST. LUCIE COUNTY CODE the person shall be deemed to have waived his right to contest the citation and that, in such case, judgment may be entered against the person for an amount up to the maximum civil penalty. (2) Provisions supplemental. The provisions of this section are additional and supplemental means of enforcing county codes or ordinances and may be used for the enforcement of any code or ordinance, or for the enforcement of all codes and ordinances. Nothing contained in this section shall prohibit the county from enforcing its codes or ordinances by any other means. (3) Fines and civil penalties. a. The following table sets forth the applicable uncontested civil penalties for a citation issued by a code enforcement officer under this article. First Second Third and Subsequent Violation Violation Violation $200.00 $400.00 Court Hearing Mandatory b. Any person who willingly refuses to sign and accept a citation issued by a code enforcement officer shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in F.S. § 775.082 or 775.083. (4) Notice to appear. a. Notwithstanding F.S. §34.07, a code inspector, designated pursuant to section 1-72, may issue a notice to appear at any hearing conducted by a county court if the officer, based upon personal investigation, has reasonable cause to believe that the person has violated a code or ordinance. A notice to appear means a written order issued by a code enforcement officer in lieu of physical arrest requiring a person accused of violating the law to appear in a designated court or governmental office at a specified date and time. If a person issued a notice to appear under this section refuses to sign such notice, the code enforcement officer has no authority to arrest such person. b. Prior to issuing a notice to appear, a code enforcement officer shall provide written notice to the person that the person has committed a violation of a code or ordinance and shall establish a reasonable time period within which the person must correct the violation. Such time period shall be no fewer than five days and no more than 30 days. If, upon personal investigation, a code enforcement officer finds that the person has not corrected the violation within the prescribed time period, a code enforcement officer may issue a notice to appear to the person who has committed the violation. A code enforcement officer is not required to provide the person with a reasonable time period to correct the violation prior to issuing a notice to appear and may immediately issue a notice to appear if a repeat violation is found, or if the code enforcement officer has reason to believe that the violation presents a serious threat to the Supp. No. 30 CD1:20 GENERAL PROVISIONS § 1-98 public health, safety, or welfare or that the violator is engaged in violations of an itinerant or transient nature, as defined by local code or ordinance within the jurisdiction, or if the violation is irreparable or irreversible.
