Town of Windermere :: Code Enforcement Board

The Code Enforcement Board is a quasi-judicial body, created by Florida Statute and enacted into law in 1980. The Board is authorized to impose administrative fines and other non-criminal penalties to provide an equitable, expeditious, effective and inexpensive method of enforcing any codes and ordinances in force in the Town. The Board functions as a panel to hear the facts and determine, under the law, whether or not the alleged violator committed the alleged violation. The role of the Board is to adjudicate cases that are presented by the Code Inspector. Appeals to a final administrative order of this board can only be made to the circuit court of Orange County.
