Effective March 5, 2019, the St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners passed Ordinance #19-13, requiring the registration of vacant and abandoned properties within the County. This vacant property registry will provide our municipal government with contact information relative to the parties responsible for abandoned, foreclosed, and vacant properties. The associated vacancy registration fees required by this ordinance will also help offset the cost incurred by our governmental departments to monitor and address these vacant properties. Ultimately, utilizing this vacant property registry will significantly aid in encouraging the repair and rehabilitation of vacant and abandoned properties, thus contributing to the stabilization of surrounding property values and the public safety of our communities.
