The Lehigh Acres Lot Owners Association will post a no trespassing sign on your lot…just ask!
NO TRESPASSING SIGN MAY ALSO DETER DUMPING
We have been asked by several members if this association would be interested in putting “No Trespassing” signs on vacant property due the numerous inquiries in regard to Notice of Code of Violations being mailed to lot owners from the county.
We asked our attorney if he thought there would be a benefit to lot owners to install a “No Trespassing” sign on their property and his response is below:
“Sometimes refrigerators, air conditioning units, or construction debris -even old cars- are abandoned on vacant lands. Out of state owners of vacant lots usually find out that trash has been dumped on their land when they are contacted by local code enforcement officers who have received a complaint from an irate neighbor.
The county may institute code enforcement action against an owner who fails to remove the unsightly items. Fines and penalties may be levied against those who ignore the proceedings.
What can you do to deter dumping? One solution is to put up a “No Trespassing” sign.
Florida courts have held that posting is a valid device for preventing the uninvited from trespassing on private property. Dumping trash on posted land is evidence of a trespass.
But when you live thousands of miles away from your land such a relatively simple task is not so easily accomplished. Here’s a solution. Contact your Association and ask that it post a conspicuous “No Trespassing” sign on your property. For a nominal charge, the Association will take care of that matter for you.
The Association already provides its members with a policy of insurance that protects against liability from persons who may be injured on your land. Why not take the extra step of posting a “No Trespassing” sign? It may be just the deterrence that is needed to keep the uninvited off your land and to discourage dumping.
Law enforcement officers may arrest someone who is trespassing on posted land. The penalty is punishable as a third degree felony”.
Due to the anticipated volume, we can do this for only $75.00 per lot. If you have more than one lot together, we could install the sign between them for the same price. If the lots are not together there would be an additional charge of $75.00 per lot. We will mail you a photograph of the sign on your lot(s) as proof of installation or we can e-mail you a photograph, whichever you prefer.
