(KAIR)--Another move forward for Jefferson County's ban on squatting, with signs now approved for placement.
That happened during the June 17 meeting of the Jefferson County Commission, where Public Works Director Ben Domann looked to the Commission for approval of the 36 x 24 signs that say, "NO SQUATTING", as well as briefly outlining the violation.
According to the unofficial meeting minutes, the signs come pursuant to the ordinance approved unanimously by the Commission earlier this month addressing squatting in the County. That came after Commissioners addressed the issue of squatting affecting the County's Lakeside Village and Lake Shore Estates.
When the signs are put in place, anyone who settles on property, beyond the sign, "without legal right, claim, or title" will be charged with a misdemeanor that's punishable by a fine up to $500 and 30 days in jail.
The Commission unanimously approved the purchase of five signs that will placed at Lakeshore Estates and Lakeside Village.
