If a property owner is found to be in violation of an identified nuisance or has a property maintenance issue, they will be notified by the City of the nuisance or maintenance issue and allowed at least five (5) days to correct the violation. (More time may be allotted depending on nature of remedy.)
The City is a member of the Kenton County Code Enforcement Board. If the violation is not resolved, the property owner will be cited and a fine issued. Fines may range from $10 to $100 per day. The property owner may appeal the citation to the Code Enforcement Board. Failure to pay the fine will result in a lien placed on the property by the City. The lien may also include all City costs for remediation and administrative costs.
