Code Enforcement

Code enforcement has become legalized harassment.
If code enforcement can’t prove a real health or safety risk, they won’t fine you. Period
Cap & Eliminate Excessive Fines
Daily fines on homesteads will be capped and abolished where abusive.
Zero Selective Enforcement
Same rules, same treatment—no targeting by neighborhood, income, or politics
Stop importing bureaucrats. Hire locals who live in the community and understand how people actually live.
We’re shifting from Code Enforcement to Community Compliance & Assistance—focused on fixing problems, not punishing people.

Service, Not Obstruction
The Building Department exists to help projects move safely and legally—not to delay, intimidate, or over-complicate approvals.
Fast-Track for Minor & Residential Work
Establish guaranteed turnaround times for residential permits, repairs, and small projects—no months-long delays for basic work.
Right to Challenge Without Retaliation
Contractors and homeowners may appeal decisions without fear of blacklisting, delays, or targeted enforcement.
Automatic Amnesty for Old Permits
Any inactive permit 10, 20, or 30 years old on a property where Palm Beach County has continuously collected property taxes shall be administratively closed without penalty. You can’t tax a property for decades and then pretend the work never existed. Close the permit. Move on.
No Punishment for New Homeowners
Buyers will not be fined or penalized for permit issues created by prior owners. Responsibility follows the violator—not the victim.
Your roof protects your family.
Five days. Period. No homeowner waits weeks or months for a roof permit.

If your land is zoned Residential Ag and you qualify, you get the exemption. No more games. No more denial.
If land is zoned for agriculture and is being used for any legitimate agricultural purpose, it qualifies. Letting land rest and grow is still land management, not neglect.
Intent Matters
Agricultural use includes preparation, recovery, rotation, and land conditioning—not just harvest.
If your land can reasonably support the animal with proper management, one cow can qualify—especially on residential-ag or small farm parcels.
