10/09/2008 - CABOR Opposes Issue 106 in South Euclid
Ordinance would adversely affect real estate transfers
CABOR and RPAC are fighting a ballot issue in South Euclid this
November 4. If passed, a new point-of-sale law will be enacted.
This
law was originally passed by the South Euclid city council in 2007. A
group of active citizens protested and the City suspended the law,
allowing the citizens to vote on it in the next general election.
CABOR disagrees with municipalities specifically targeting properties for inspection when they transfer ownership.
CABOR
supports systematic, ongoing exterior-only inspections for all of the
housing stock. Targeting properties for sale can deter a home sale from
taking place. It also places an unfair burden on property owners who
are trying to sell their property.
For example, a house that
has transferred three times in ten years will undergo three rigorous
inspections and have to make the applicable changes per the city's
demands. At the same time, a home that has not transferred ownership in
that same time period is free from the burden of city demanded repairs.
This financially punishes sellers and buyers of real estate, while
allowing stable residents to escape the eye of government and burden of
maintaining their property.
If you live in South Euclid, Please VOTE NO ON 106!
