SCS/SB 829 - This act allows Andrews, Buchanan, and Livingston counties to enact nuisance abatement ordinances regarding the condition of real property.

This act allows the counties covered by the statute to adopt nuisance abatement ordinances involving land with tires or storm water runoff conditions resulting in damage to buildings.

No county shall have the power to adopt ordinances under this section governing any railroad company.

Currently, certain cities, including specific third class cities, are allowed to remove weeds and trash at the owner's expense, as a special tax bill, if the property is in violation of the city ordinances more than once during the year. This act would allow any city of the third classification to have such power.

This act is similar to SB 286 (2009), the provisions of the perfected version of SS/SCS/SB 580 (2010), SB 286 (2009) and HB 1303 (2010).
