Henderson- Las Vegas Nevada ordinance requires
banks to maintain foreclosed homes- It’s about time!
The
City of Henderson is cracking down on deadbeat owners/banks and working to
keep our neighborhoods looking beautiful and retaining our property values.
Failure to comply could be costly!
News now, recently reported on a decision that was
made earlier this year by the City Council of Henderson. They passed the “Abandoned
Residential Real Property Registry Ordinance” (Ordinance No. 3121)
requiring the registration of abandoned residential property and those in
danger of becoming abandoned. “The Ordinance was established to reduce and
prevent neighborhood blight, to mitigate conditions that threaten the health,
safety, and welfare of the public, and to promote neighborhood stability.”
The City of Henderson has retained a company,
Applied Analysis, to help implement and maintain a foreclosure registry called RegisterHenderson.com There is a
registration fee in the amount of $200.00 to be paid at the time of
registration, and an annual renewal in the amount of $200.00 every year
thereafter if a property still meets registration requirements. The ordinance
requires registration for abandoned
or soon to be abandoned properties.
So you might be wondering, How does it work? Property inspection will take place within 30
calendar days after filing a notice of default or being notified that a
property may be abandoned or in danger of becoming abandoned. It is required
that a Property registration and designation of a property manager take place
within 10 days of the inspection. It is required that landscaping visible from
the public right-of-way shall be maintained pursuant to the minimum property
maintenance requirements required by the City and pools and spas must be kept
in working order so the water remains clear and free of pollutants and debris
or drained and kept dry. The City wants to make sure homes are properly secured
and that the property shall be maintained in a secure manner to prevent
accessibility to unauthorized persons. Doors, windows, gates and other openings
that make the property accessible must be closed and locked.
So now that you know how it works you might be wondering
what you can do to help move the process along? Simply stated, you can report vacant foreclosures in
your Henderson neighborhood. If you believe that there is a vacant
foreclosure in your neighborhood that is either unregistered or the owner of a
foreclosed vacant property is failing to properly maintain the property, send
an email to info@registerhenderson.com. You can also contact Applied Analysis

Failure to comply could be costly for the owner if the
City of Henderson Code Enforcement determines that a lender has failed to
register the property (and they will), a City of Henderson officer or employee
may issue a notice, violation, and/or citation as necessary. Administrative
fines and fees can really add up since they are accessed at a rate of $150.00 per
day, and criminal misdemeanor citations and other civil actions may be issued
for failure to comply with the ordinance.
It’s time to take our neighborhoods back and keep
our property values up. The City of Henderson is doing just that! Search for your next Henderson Home Here.
