Final Orders Notification
House Bill 422, an act relating to local code enforcement, was adopted by the 2016 KY General Assembly and signed into law by Governor Matt Bevin.

The bill consolidates code enforcement provisions, including nuisance codes. The bill also extends lien priority provisions to all code enforcement violations code. Local governments have a right to a lien for fines, fees, and charges for violations of local code enforcement ordinances, which lien may be superior to those of prior lienholders. Local governments must implement a notification system to lienholders in order to obtain lien priority over previously filed liens. The lienholder has the right to abate the violation or pay all fines, fees, and charges for violations within 45 days of notice.

By signing up for this free electronic notification system, you will receive the Final Orders issued by the City of Shively Code Enforcement Board or City of Shively Code Officials. The electronic notifications will be sent out at least no less than once per month.

A “Final Order” means any order:
1. Issued by the Code Enforcement Board
2. Issued by a City Code Official because a violator neither paid nor contested the citation within fourteen (14) days
3. Issued by a City Code Official because a violator failed to appear at a hearing the violator requested to contest the citation

If you would like to sign up to receive monthly notifications about properties with final orders, register by filling out the form Lienholder Registration Notification, Lien Holder Notification Registration Form.
