WELCOME,
On behalf of the Municipal Code Enforcement Special Magistrate and Staff, we would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to these proceedings and provide you with some information concerning this hearing.
The Municipal Code Enforcement Special Magistrate is established under the guidelines of the City of Ocala Code of Ordinances, Section 2-241, and Florida Statute 162.01 through 162.30.
The Municipal Code Enforcement Special Magistrate is empowered to examine City of Ocala Code of Ordinance violations. The Municipal Code Enforcement Special Magistrate Hearing works in a fashion similar to a judicial process, cases are presented from the docket, testimony and evidence is presented, and The Municipal Code Enforcement Special Magistrate makes a ruling. The Municipal Code Enforcement Special Magistrate can levy fines, require payment of administrative costs, and place liens on personal property if violations are not corrected. We respectfully request that you respect this process as you yourself expect to be respected by the process.
