Holland's ordinance to monitor abandoned homes riles some Realtors

Area real estate agents say a new city ordinance requiring registration, inspection and immediate fix-up of vacant homes along with a laundry list of new fees is a "money grab" for City Hall.

City Manager Soren Wolff said when presenting the ordinance that it is needed to keep neighborhoods from becoming blighted by deteriorating foreclosed houses.Spring Piles in Houston at The Woodlands Town CenterIt is difficult for most of people to distinguish modernsculpture the authentic fake Rolex

The council approved the ordinance that forces vacant homeowners — even banks — to register the property with the city for a $100 fee, plus monthly charges.Buy from Reliable acrylic honeycombpanels Wholesalers.

Holland RE/Max broker Corbin Kingsbury, whose company sells about a dozen foreclosed homes a month, said the new ordinance is a way for the city to make money off investors and banks while making home-buying more difficult for minority and low-income families.

"This is not going to fix the problem. Most homes that are in a deplorable condition are that way before people move out  dstti," said Kingsbury, noting the city already has ordinances for home maintenance they are not enforcing.

City Manager Soren Wolff said the changes under the new "Vacant and Abandoned Property Ordinance" will only cover city costs for personnel time.
