The County is soliciting bids from contractors to perform the work of abating Public Nuisances, mowing/clearing Tall Grass/Noxious Weeds, and demolishing Dangerous Buildings when directed by County. The Public Nuisance Ordinance defines the conditions that constitute a public nuisance. These include the presence of: rubbish, yard waste and trash; demolition debris such as lumber, windows, doors, fencing and shingles; bricks and scrap concrete, rock and blocks; scrap metal such as tin and aluminum; steel; derelict vehicles; derelict construction equipment; derelict lawn and garden equipment; tires; derelict appliances; broken furniture; household items (clothing, electronics, lamps, etc.); dead animals; any flammable material which may endanger public safety; any material or condition which is unhealthy or unsafe; noxious weeds; tall grass of twenty inches (20”) and higher. The Dangerous Building Ordinance defines the conditions that cause a structure to be declared a Dangerous Building. Following certain procedural steps, hearings, and notice to the property owner, the County is authorized to demolish these Dangerous Buildings if not demolished by the property owner. These structures and all debris on the site that constitutes a public nuisance are completely removed and the site is graded, seeded and strawed and returned to a natural condition.
