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 remediation efforts undertaken by the municipality. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of maintaining public welfare through effective enforcement of property maintenance standards.
