Bay County officials are taking decisive action to address property violations following a recent Code Magistrate Hearing held on April 16, 2025. During the meeting, evidence was presented regarding a blighted mobile home, an unscreened swimming pool, stagnant water, and a fence violation.

The magistrate ordered the property owner to comply with the necessary corrections within 30 days. This decision aims to enhance community safety and aesthetics, as the presence of such violations can negatively impact the surrounding neighborhood.

The hearing included photographic evidence taken just two days prior, reinforcing the urgency of the situation. By enforcing compliance, Bay County is working to ensure that properties meet health and safety standards, ultimately benefiting residents and maintaining the integrity of the community.

As the deadline approaches, the county will monitor the situation closely to ensure that the necessary improvements are made, reflecting its commitment to a cleaner and safer environment for all Bay County residents.
