Bill overview
This bill allows West Virginia counties and municipalities to enter into memoranda of understanding (MOUs) to demolish dilapidated structures. It strengthens the authority of county commissions and local governments to regulate unsafe or unsanitary buildings and to address issues like refuse and overgrown vegetation. The bill establishes a process for identifying and addressing these structures, including inspections, notices to property owners, and potential enforcement actions like fines or demolition. It also clarifies the roles of enforcement agencies and provides a mechanism for municipalities to pursue liens and sales to recover costs associated with remediation.
