Indeed. I was at Public Works today and asked this question. Initial response was negativity, with respect to whether or not OPA had "standing." Based on my conversations thus far with the county, they don't care who calls in a nuisance problem. For one thing, the county, unlike OPA, doesn't have to take these cases to court. The county simply ACTS quickly, removing the vehicle and eventually selling and billing the owner for any unrecovered costs. And the county, unlike OPA, is always going to collect any money owed, because the law says the cost is applied a part of the property tax.

OPA should be calling the county in every nuisance violation that could be in violation of some county law as well as OPA Drs. The county could settle an issue probably many months before OPA could even get the case to OPA's attorney. Every case settled by the county would save OPA money.
