Senate Bill 1473, also known as House Bill 2034, amends Tennessee Code Annotated to address violations of municipal ordinances concerning property maintenance. The bill introduces a new section in Title 16, Chapter 18, Part 3, which allows municipal courts to order municipalities to remedy property maintenance violations if the responsible person or entity fails to do so 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 regarding maintenance violations. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
