Highland Beach Commission Tackles Expired Permits, Imposes Fines for Non-Compliance

The Highland Beach Town Commission meeting focused on several code compliance cases involving expired building permits. Among the most significant was a case against Highland Towers, Inc., which faced potential fines up to $250 per day if compliance was not reached by May 30, 2025.

06:44A code compliance officer detailed the ongoing violation at Highland Towers, Inc., where a building permit expired due to unpaid fees and missing inspections. The officer presented evidence and recommended that Highland Towers be given until May 30 to rectify the situation or incur daily fines. The board president of Highland Towers explained that they had relied on a contractor to handle permit payments and had encountered delays due to backlogged electrical equipment. The board agreed to ensure the necessary fees were paid and the permit extended by the deadline.

07:48In another case, the property on South Ocean Boulevard faced similar issues with an expired permit dating back to September 2021, which had lapsed due to failed inspections and unpaid fees. The commission granted an extension until May 30, 2025, for compliance.

11:46The commission also reviewed a case involving Claran Condo Association, which had multiple expired permits due to missing inspections. The association was given a deadline of June 13, 2025, to achieve compliance or face daily fines. The commission noted prior communication with the condo association about the violations and provided an extended timeframe due to multiple permits being involved.
