Permits, Code Enforcement, and when fines apply… if ever.
How the City or County respond to a homeowner or developer specific to the actual enforcement and requirements of the documented violations is seemingly contingent upon a number of factors including politics, but mostly it’s contingent upon how the County or City attorney feels about you. There is no better examples of this in the City of Stuart than the cases of 228 SE Ila Street and 820 14th Street.
Airbnb host receives forgiveness but the City of Stuart doesn’t deserve it from us.
The issue is the permission, grace, and latitude given to some and not others as the City acknowledged potential safety issues while ignoring the rules to which the rest of us are obligated.
