Staff
The Board is empowered to examine City of Ocala Code of
Ordinance violations. The Board works in a fashion similar to a
judicial process, cases are presented from the agenda, testimony
and evidence is given, and the Board makes a ruling. The Board
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.
