Paul Bohn, Esq.
Governor Snyder signed into law a
package of 5 “blight
bills” which will give local communities greater tools to go after property
owners who are not maintaining their property.
Blight conditions in many of our older communities, often owned by absentee
landlords, have been shown to lower property values in the surrounding
area. The new laws will allow local
municipalities to assess owners of blighted property additional fines, the
ability to deny zoning changes or building permits, and potentially be subject
to garnishment and foreclosure proceedings.
Way to go Governor Snyder!
