FAQs

Does Wellington ever correct or “abate” the violation?

If a nuisance or life safety violation exists, Wellington may correct the violation. Three examples of when Wellington may consider correcting the violation is an overgrown lot, an unsecured swimming pool or an unsecured building providing an attractive nuisance. If Wellington does correct the violation, liens are placed against the property for the costs associated with the correction.
Can Wellington foreclose on the property if the liens are not paid?

Yes. Except for homestead property, Florida Statute Chapter 162 provides that liens which remain unpaid for a period of 3 months may be foreclosed upon. The city would prefer to avoid such extreme consequences where possible.
Can I appeal the Special Magistrate’s decision to the Wellington Council?

No. Based on Florida Statute Chapter 162, an appeal is only to the Circuit Court.
