What is the name of your state? Nevada
My mother purchased a 2nd home in Las Vegas for her retirement in 3 years. She lives and works on the East coast. When she bought her home, the Community Standards office gives their residents 3 months to landscape their lot. My mother's realtor, suggested a landscaper who has worked in the community in the past. The landscaper finished my mom's lot when she returned to her home on the East coast. Upon her second visit, to Las Vegas, she found a notice regarding a fine plus interest for the tree that was planted in her yard that was over 36 inches tall. My mom called the landscaper and he told her that it was no more than 36" tall and he has used these same trees in the community before. My mom has since had the tree removed and the Community Standards office is satisfied. However, they are still charging the $700 because they claim the tree was not removed right away so they're charging the fees from the day the tree was there, until it was removed. That's bogus!
Any advice? I believe this is just a scam that the Community Standards committee uses to get money from their older, helpless residents.
