Wow! $500/day for 10-inch-tall grass fine without informing the homeowner that he would be charged $500/day for the violation of their codes. “Ding-Dong.” No more word to say.
Is it in The United of States of America? Yes, it is.
Dunedin, Florida. Where is it?
“Dunedin is a city in Pinellas County, Florida, United States. The name comes from Dùn Èideann, the Scottish Gaelic name for Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. Dunedin is part of the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater metropolitan area and is the fifth largest city in Pinellas County.” (Wikipedia)
“A Dunedin homeowner was fined $30,000 for tall grass, leading to a lawsuit in 2019. That lawsuit, filed by the Institute for Justice on behalf of Jim Ficken for “excessive” fines, brought national attention to the city. An ABC Action News I-Team investigation helped prompt changes that ultimately helped bring closure to Ficken’s legal battle. When ABC Action News first spoke with Ficken five years ago, he was facing not only fines — but possible foreclosure.” (ABC Action News, Florida man fined $30k for tall grass settles with Dunedin following yearslong legal battle)
“In 2018, James Ficken faced $30k in fines for having grass taller than 10 inches. Ficken sued the City of Dunedin for the hefty fines.” (10 Tampa Bay, Dunedin man settles with city following two lawsuits over fines for tall grass)
