Code Enforcement Special Magistrate
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.
