Beyond the easement, code enforcement will not enforce ordinances of any sort. This is why Hillsborough County, outside of the city limits of Plant City, keeps going up like tinder boxes. A fire pit out of code and burning without a permit is commonplace. Code Enforcement should be better funded. They should be allowed to enforce violations past the easements before another junkyard property burns down.
This is on the County Commissioner.

I wonder how many of those vehicles sitting there have been reported stolen at some point.
