The Cooper City Special Magistrate Code Enforcement meeting held on August 6, 2025, addressed several code violations concerning property maintenance and permitting issues. The meeting focused on multiple cases where property owners failed to obtain necessary permits for construction and maintenance work.
In case number 250836, a fence was installed without a permit. The magistrate found a violation and imposed a $150 administrative fee, payable within 30 days. The property owner was given until August 15 to secure the required permit. If the permit is not obtained by that date, a daily fine of $100 will be enforced starting August 16.
Similarly, case number 250837 involved a pergola that also lacked a permit. The property owner had applied for a demolition permit but had not taken further action. The magistrate issued the same penalties as in the previous case, with a $150 fee and a deadline of August 15 for permit acquisition.
Another case, number 250990, concerned a property with a green, stagnant pool, which posed a health hazard. The code enforcement officer confirmed that the property owner had complied with cleanup efforts by August 5, after initially failing to meet the compliance deadline of May 29. Although a violation was found, no fines were assessed since the property was brought into compliance.
The meeting underscored the importance of adhering to local codes and obtaining necessary permits to maintain community standards and safety. The magistrate's decisions reflect a commitment to enforcing these regulations while allowing property owners a chance to rectify their violations.
