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 apage-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.

point one (1) or more special magistrates to con-
duct code enforcement hearings. The special mag-
istrate shall serve at the pleasure of the village
council and may be removed by the village council
Supp. No. 48 164
ADMINIS'PRA'PION
at any time for any or no reason. The special
magistrate shall serve with compensation in an
amount established by the village council.
(b) Power and authority. The special magis-
trate shall have the power and authority granted
by the provisions of this article and Chapter 162,
Florida Statutes.
(c) Qualifications. The special magistrate shall
be an attorney and member of good standing with
the Florida Bar with a minimum of ten (10) years
of Florida local government or municipal experi-
ence.
(Ord. No. 2010-09, § 2, 7-8-10)
Sec. 2-175. Enforcement procedure.
(a) It shall be the duty of the code inspector to
initiate enforcement proceedings of the various
codes. No special magistrate shall have the power
to initiate such enforcement proceedings.
(b) If a violation of the codes is found, the code
inspector shall notify the violator, unless para-
graph (c) of this section applies, and give the
violator a reasonable time to correct the violation.
Should the violation continue beyond the time
specified for correction, the code inspector shall
notify the special magistrate and request a hear-
ing pursuant to the procedure in section 2-176.
The special magistrate, through village clerical
staff, shall schedule a hearing and written notice
of such hearing shall be hand delivered or mailed
as provided in section 2-181 to said violator. At
the option of the special magistrate, notice may
additionally be served by publication or posting as
provided in section 2-181. If the violation is cor-
rected 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 to
the special magistrate even if the violation has
been corrected prior to the hearing, and the notice
shall so state.
(c) 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 irrepara-
ble or irreversible in nature, the code inspector
~~' 2-175
shall make a reasonable effort to notify the viola-
tor and may immediately notify the special mag-
istrate and request a hearing.
(d) 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
notify the special magistrate and request a hear-
ing pursuant to the procedure in section 2-176.
The special magistrate, through village clerical
staff, shall schedule a hearing and shall provide
notice pursuant to section 2-181. The case may be
presented to the special magistrate 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 special
magistrate retains the right to schedule a hearing
to determine costs and impose the payment of
reasonable enforcement fees upon the repeat vio-
lator. The repeat violator may choose to waive his
or her rights to this hearing and pay said costs as
determined by the special magistrate. Written
notice, with a scheduled hearing, shall be pro-
vided pursuant to section 2-181.
(e) If the owner of property which is subject to
an enforcement proceeding before the special mag-
istrate or court transfers ownership of such prop-
erty between the time the initial pleading 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 prospec-
tive transferee.
(2) Deliver to the prospective transferee a
copy of the pleadings, notices, and other
materials relating to the code enforce-
ment proceeding received by the transferor.
(3) Disclose, in writing, to the prospective
transferee that the new owner will be
responsible for compliance with the appli-
cable 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
Supp. No. 48 165
~~' 2-175
NOR'PH PALM BEACH CODE
to the new owner, within five (5) days
after the date of the transfer. A failure to
make disclosures described in subpara-
graphs (e)(1), (2), (3), and (4) of this sec-
tion before the transfer creates a rebutta-
ble presumption of fraud. If the property
is transferred before the hearing, the pro-
ceeding 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.
(Ord. No. 2010-09, § 2, 7-8-10)
Sec. 2-176. Conduct of hearing.
(a) The special magistrate shall attempt to
conduct hearings no less frequently than once
every two (2) months, but yet meet more or less
often as the demand necessitates. Minutes shall
be kept of all hearings by the special magistrate
and all hearings and proceedings shall be open to
the public. The village clerk shall provide clerical
and administrative personnel as may be reason-
ably required by the special magistrate for the
proper performance of his or her duties.
(b) Each case before the special magistrate
shall be presented by the Village's administrative
staff or the attorney. If the village prevails in
prosecuting a case before the special magistrate,
it shall be entitled to recover all costs incurred in
prosecuting the case before the special magistrate
and such costs may be included in the lien autho-
rized under section 2-178.
(c) The special magistrate shall proceed to
hear the cases on the agenda for that day. All
testimony shall be under oath and shall be re-
corded. The special magistrate shall take testi-
mony from the code inspector and alleged violator
and from any witness called on behalf of either
the village or the alleged violator. Formal rules of
evidence shall not apply; however, fundamental
due process shall be observed and govern said
proceedings. Both the village and the alleged
violator shall have the right to subpoena witness
to testify at the hearing.
(d) At the conclusion of the hearing, the spe-
cial magistrate shall issue findings of fact, based
on evidence of record and conclusions of law and
shall issue an order affording the proper relief
consistent with powers granted herein. 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 2-178, the cost of repairs may be included
along with the fine if the order is not complied
with by said date.
(Ord. No. 2010-09, § 2, 7-8-10)
Sec. 2-177. Powers of the special magistrate.
The special magistrate shall have the power to:
(1) Adopt rules for the conduct of its hear-
ings.
(2) Subpoena alleged violators and witnesses
to code enforcement hearings. Subpoenas
may be served by the village's police de-
partment.
(3) Subpoena evidence to code enforcement
hearings.
(4) Take testimony under oath.
(5) Issue orders having the force of law com-
manding whatever steps are necessary to
bring a violation into compliance. A certi-
fied copy of such order may be recorded in
the public records of the county, and shall
constitute notice to any subsequent pur-
chasers, 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 as-
signs. If the order is recorded in the public
records pursuant to this subsection and
the order is complied with by the date
specified in the order, the special magis-
trate shall issue an order acknowledging
compliance that shall be recorded in the
public records. A hearing is not required
to issue such an order acknowledging com-
pliance.
(Ord. No. 2010-09, § 2, 7-8-10)
Sec. 2-178. Fines; liens.
(a) Generally. The special magistrate, upon
notification by the code inspector that a previous
order of the special magistrate has not been
Supp. No. 48 166
ADMINIS'PRA'PION
complied with by the set time or, upon finding
that a repeat violation has been committed, may
order the violator to pay a fine in an amount
specified in this section for each day the violation
continues past the date set 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 2-175(c), the
special magistrate shall notify the village, which
may make all reasonable repairs which are re-
quired 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 village
to make further repairs or to maintain the prop-
erty and does not create any liability against the
village 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 article, a hearing shall not be
necessary for issuance of the order imposing the
fine. If, after due notice and hearing, the special
magistrate finds a violation to be irreparable or
irreversible in nature, he or she may order the
violator to pay a fine as hereinafter specified. A
fine imposed pursuant to this section shall not
exceed two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) per day
for a first violation and shall not exceed five
hundred dollars ($500.00) per day for a repeat
violation and, in addition, may include all costs of
repairs pursuant to subsection (a). However, if the
special magistrate finds the violation to be irrep-
arable or irreversible in nature, he or she may
impose a fine not to exceed five thousand dollars
($5,000.00) per violation.
(b) Determination of amount of fine. In deter-
mining the amount of the fine, if any, the special
magistrate shall consider the following factors:
(1) The gravity of the violation;
(2) Any actions taken by the violator to cor-
rect the violation; and
(3) Any previous violations committed by the
violator.
~~' 2-179
(c) Reduction of fine. The special magistrate
may reduce a fine imposed pursuant to this sec-
tion.
(d) Copies of orders imposing fines. 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 may be enforced in the same manner as a
court judgment by the sheriffs of this state, in-
cluding 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 part shall continue to accrue until the viola-
tor comes into compliance or until judgment is
rendered in a suit filed pursuant to this section,
whichever occurs first. A lien arising from a fine
imposed pursuant to this section runs in favor of
the village, and the village may execute a satis-
faction or release of lien entered pursuant to this
section. After three (3) months from the filing of
any such lien which remains unpaid, the special
magistrate may authorize the village attorney to
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 provision
of this section may be foreclosed on real property
which is a homestead under Article X, Section 4 of
the State Constitution. The money judgment pro-
visions of this section shall not apply to real
property or personal property which is covered
under § 4(a), Art. X of the State Constitution.
(Ord. No. 2010-09, § 2, 7-8-10)
Sec. 2-179. Duration of lien.
No lien shall continue for a period longer than
twenty (20) years after the certified copy of an
order imposing a fine has been recorded, unless
within that time an action is commenced pursu-
ant to section 2-178 of this Code 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 village shall be entitled to collect all
costs incurred in recording and satisfying a valid
Supp. No. 48 167
~~' 2-179
NOR'PH PALM BEACH CODE
lien. The continuation of the lien effected 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.
(Ord. No. 2010-09, § 2, 7-8-10)
Sec. 2-180. Appeal.
An aggrieved party, including the village coun-
cil, may appeal a final administrative order of the
special magistrate to the circuit court. Such an
appeal shall not be a hearing de novo, but shall be
limited to appellate review of the record created
before the special magistrate. An appeal shall be
filed within thirty (30) days of the execution of the
order to be appealed.
(Ord. No. 2010-09, § 2, 7-8-10)
Sec. 2-181. Notices.
(1) All notices required by this part shall be
provided to the alleged violator by:
(a) Certified mail, return receipt requested,
provided if such notice is sent under this
paragraph to the owner of the property in
question at the address listed in the tax
collector's office for tax notices, and at any
other address provided to the local gov-
ernment by such owner and is returned as
unclaimed or refused, notice may be pro-
vided by posting as described in subpara-
graphs (2)(b)l. and 2. and by first class
mail directed to the addresses furnished
to the local government with a properly
executed proof of mailing or affidavit con-
firming the first class mailing;
(b) Hand delivery by the sheriff or other law
enforcement officer, code inspector, or other
person designated by the village;
(c) Leaving the notice at the violator's usual
place of residence with any person resid-
ing therein who is above fifteen (15) years
of age and informing such person of the
contents of the notice; or
(d) In the case of commercial premises, leav-
ing the notice with the manager or other
person in charge.
(2) In addition to providing notice as set forth
in subsection (1), at the option of the special
magistrate, notice may also be served by publica-
tion or posting, as follows:
(a) 1. Such notice shall be published once
during each week for four (4) consec-
utive weeks (four publications being
sufficient) in a newspaper of general
circulation in the county where the
village is located. The newspaper
shall meet such requirements as are
prescribed under chapter 50 of the
Florida Statutes for legal and official
advertisements.
2. Proof of publication shall be made as
provided in Sections 50.041 and
50.051, Florida Statutes.
(b) 1. In lieu of publication as described in
paragraph (a), such notice may be
posted for at least ten (10) days prior
to the hearing, or prior to the expi-
ration of any deadline contained in
the notice in at least two (2) loca-
tions, one of which shall be the prop-
erty upon which the violation is al-
leged to exist and the other of which
shall be at village hall.
2. 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.
(c) Notice by publication or posting may run
concurrently with, or may follow, an at-
tempt or attempts to provide notice by
hand delivery or by mail as required un-
der subsection (1).
Evidence that an attempt has been made
to hand deliver or mail notice as provided
in subsection (1), together with proof of
publication or posting as provided in sub-
section (2) shall be sufficient to show that
the notice requirements of this part have
been met, without regard to whether or
not the alleged violator actually received
such notice.
