Two of the board seats are one-year terms. Three seats are two-year terms.

Applicants should be interested in providing administrative oversight with authority to impose administrative fines and other non-criminal penalties in order to provide an equitable, expeditious and effective method of enforcing ordinances in unincorporated areas of Manatee County.  Familiarity with the County’s Land Development Code and the Nuisance Abatement ordinance are beneficial but not required.
