Baldwin County, GA created a more enforceable and compassionate Blight Reduction Program
Baldwin County created a Blight Reduction Program sending code enforcement letters to owners of condemned properties which contained specific instructions and outlined the penalty for noncompliance. The homeowner had 30 days to start making progress on compliance without any penalty. As an incentive the county lowered the demolition permit fee from $100 to $10, allowed owners to “cluster” multiple demolitions into a single fee, and recommended private demolition companies with affordable rates.
