On Wednesday the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District board once again met and continued to work on implementing its vision for the future of the former Reedy Creek Improvement District. The board, all appointed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, voted to hire a new administrator for the district while also retaining the former one as an advisor. It also passed a new code of enforcement for the district that encompasses the area around Walt Disney World Resort.
This new enforcement code gives the district the power to impose fines, liens, and even foreclose for code violations. The fines range from $75 to $500 per day. This new code enforcement policy will take effect on August 1, 2023. The resolution was passed unanimously by the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District board.
This new code will create a new code enforcement department with officers who are tasked with issuing citations to enforce the code. An independent special magistrate will be set up for those who want to contest any citation. A district staff report says that “The enforcement citation program authorizes the imposition of fines, liens and if necessary foreclosures of liens.”
