The Town Council of the Town of Dumfries hereby gives notice of a public hearing in which Town Council will determine whether the residence located at 17733 Main St, Dumfries, Virginia (hereinafter the “Structure”) is a nuisance or a danger to the safety of the owner, the occupant or the public pursuant to Dumfries Town Code Sections 26-172 and 26-174.
The Town Council will conduct a public hearing prior to making a determination about the unsafe or hazardous conditions of a Structure pursuant to Dumfries Town Code 26-175.

If the owner fails to comply with Council’s Order, the Town is authorized to cause the Structure to be removed, repaired, or secured and cause any hazardous conditions at the property to be abated and charge the expense to the Owner. Pursuant to the Town Code §§ 26-177, 26-178, every charge assessed against the Owner, if unpaid, shall constitute a lien against the property of the Owner of the Structure and that lien shall rank on parity with liens for unpaid taxes and shall be enforceable in the same manner as provided in the Code of Virginia, Title 58.1, Chapter 39, Articles 3 and 4. The Town is also authorized to seek a civil penalty against the owner of up to $1,000.00.
