Senate Bill 1473 amends Tennessee Code Annotated to address violations of municipal ordinances concerning property maintenance. The bill introduces a new section that allows municipal courts to order municipalities to remedy property maintenance violations if the responsible person or entity fails to address the issue within thirty days of the court's finding. This provision aims to ensure that municipalities can take action to maintain property standards when individuals or entities do not comply.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the costs incurred by the municipality for remediation will be assessed against the property owner in the form of a lien on the property. This lien serves as a financial mechanism to recover the costs associated with the enforcement of municipal ordinances, thereby promoting accountability among property owners. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law.
