Property owners face city cleanup charges

Effective upon becoming law, Tennessee cities may fix property-maintenance violations even when other laws conflict. Cities may act after a municipal court finds a violation and it remains unfixed for 30 days. Cities pay upfront but may charge property owners costs that meet reasonable standards. They may place a lien—a legal claim—on the property or use other recovery methods allowed by state or local law. Cities cannot act if the cost could harm their finances or is too costly for their budget.
