Board approves daily fines for permit, zoning violations at 2903 Hill Street

City staff told the New Smyrna Beach Code Compliance Board that 2903 Hill Street (R-3A district) has several new violations related to work without permits and prohibited uses, and that prior issues dating to a prior owner had been treated separately. Staff recommended imposing fines of $75 per day per violation beginning Sept. 4, 2026, until the property is brought into compliance.

"Therefore, it's staff's recommendation the board impose a fine of $75 per day per violation commencing on 09/04/2026 and continue until the property is brought into full compliance," Officer John Parks told the board. Parks said certified mail and property posting had been attempted and that the permit system contained no active permits for the recent work.

Board members voted to accept the recommendation. The respondents were ordered to contact the code inspector to verify compliance; staff noted that fines accrue per violation per day and that continued noncompliance could generate liens or other enforcement steps.
