How long do I have to fix code violations in Spindale?

Timelines vary by municipality and violation severity. In Charlotte, you typically receive a written notice with a specific compliance deadline. You can appeal within 10 days if you believe the violation is incorrect.

What happens if my property is condemned in Spindale?
