Code Enforcement Special Magistrate
In July 2023, the Board adopted Ordinance No. 2023-021, replacing the Code Enforcement Board with a Special Magistrate, in an effort to improve the code enforcement process and better serve the
community.
A Code Enforcement Special Magistrate is a local government attorney with demonstrated training and experience to hear and resolve code enforcement cases. In general, the code enforcement process will remain the same with notice and hearings pursuant to Florida Law but will now include the ability of the County to abate violations that threaten the health, safety and welfare of the public.
A complete transition from a Code Enforcement Board to a Code Enforcement Special Magistrate took place on April 1, 2024.
The first Code Enforcement meeting with the Special Magistrate has been scheduled for April 9, 2024 at 1:30 p.m. in the Commission Chambers located at 961365 Nassau Place, Yulee.
If you have any questions, please contact Nassau County Code Enforcement at (904) 530-6200.
