I just purchased property and found out that it is scheduled for a hearing, what should I do?
Florida State Statute 162.06(5) requires that if the owner of property that is subject to an enforcement proceeding before the Code Enforcement Board or Special Magistrate transfers ownership of such property between the time the initial pleading was served and the time of the hearing, such owner shall disclose, in writing, the existence and the nature of the proceeding to the prospective transferee.

If the property is transferred before the hearing, the proceeding shall not be dismissed, but the new owner shall be provided a reasonable period of time to correct the violation before the hearing is held.
