DILAPIDATED STRUCTURES REMOVED

The City of Newton approved the dilapidated structures ordinance in 2008. Since that time 14 dilapidated structures have been removed.

On April 13th Council Member Gary Fomby contributed greatly to the clean up effort. In one day 7 structures were torn down.

This structure and property was donated to the City of Newton. The structure was the first to be torn down on this day.








Debris piled and ready to be loaded and hauled to landfill.

There at least 20 more structures that have been identified as dilapidated. All of these were removed with the owners responding and making every effort to comply.

Others that have not responded, charges will be filed and the structures will be removed at the owners expense and will include fines of up to  150.00 per day .

If you have a property that is dilapidated or a property maintenance issue contact the City of Newton so that we can work together to get the problems resolved. Help us to clean up our community.
