COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT NOTICES
Nuisance Property Liens
Properties in violation of the City of Huntsville Nuisance Codes for grass and weeds, junk and litter, or housing code violations are cited by Community Development to correct the problem. If owners either fail or refuse to voluntarily comply, the City will abate the nuisance and place a lien against the property. This action requires City Council approval. Nuisance liens are posted on the City Council agendas.
If you would like to report a nuisance property, please use our Huntsville Connect customer service application.
