This file is a reference document containing three chapters of the Citrus County, Florida Code of Ordinances that establish the regulatory framework for the Code Compliance Special Master contract opportunity. The document provides links to Chapter 19 (Citrus County Code Enforcement Ordinance), Chapter 20 (Nuisances), and Chapter 106 (Waterways), which form the legal basis for the special master services being procured. Citrus County's Code Compliance Division is seeking two qualified attorneys to serve as the Special Master and Alternate Special Master to perform hearing officer duties under Chapter 162 of the Florida Statutes. The Special Masters will hear all cases assigned to them involving alleged violations of the various Citrus County codes, including the referenced chapters and the Land Development Code, and will be responsible for issuing findings of fact and conclusions of law in a timely manner consistent with their statutory authority.

The ordinance chapters referenced establish the substantive law that the Special Masters will apply when adjudicating code violation cases. These chapters address code enforcement procedures, nuisance abatement, and waterways regulation, providing the legal framework within which the Special Masters must operate. The engagement requires qualified legal professionals with expertise in administrative law and local code enforcement to ensure consistent, lawful application of Citrus County regulations. No specific contract term, pricing information, response deadline, or award timeline is provided in this reference document, as it serves solely to establish the applicable legal codes and ordinances governing the special master position.
