Cannabis Code Enforcement Ordinance Cleanup
Humboldt County
Summary
Ordinance amendments introduced to fix long-running gripes: new property owners get 30 days before cannabis violations attach, warning letters come before notices, penalties start 10 days after final adjudication, and appeal hearings must be scheduled within 60 days. Board discussion also aired frustration that enforcement ROI is poor and cleanups take six to eight years.
