Unkempt Property

CITY FINES 5,500+ PROPERTIES
SMALL HOMES TARGETED WITH HEAVY FINES
2015, Winnipeg  -  The City of Winnipeg is cracking down on derelict and unkempt properties, to the tune of $4M during spring-fall months! According to by-law definition, unkempt properties lower the value of surrounding homes significantly, and in the current real estate market that loss in value is sufficient to get the City's attention!

Starting at a not-so-lowly $120 fine for a smaller property, residents are expected to return their lawn and home exterior to minimum standards within an allotted timeframe (usually 2 weeks). After this grace period fines increase, starting at $400 just for grass and weeds!

If inspectors deem any of the following need improvement there are more fines added, plus labour if they hire someone to do it for you:
  • Garbage & Littered Objects
  • Proper Drainage
  • Condition of exterior walls and paint job
  • Condition of Roof, Porches, Fences, Entryways & Windows
  • Condition of Observable Foundation
  • Condition of public-to-home utility hookups if possible
  • Animal feces, including your own back yard
  • Accessory Structures like Sheds and Sand Boxes
"after a grace period fines increase,
starting at $400 for just grass & weeds!"
This doesn't include the actual costs to perform the work needed either! And if you don't do it they will - and bill you top dollar for it!

Many unkempt properties can avoid this attention simply by keeping the lawn in check! Don't get snared into city by-law fines, save your money, and book a free estimate today!

AS LITTLE AS $30 COULD SAVE YOU HUNDREDS!!
