What does it mean when the town claims that a property is a nuisance?
A nuisance property, often referred to as unsightly, is defined as an "annoying, unpleasant, potentially dangerous, or obnoxious thing or practice.” The Town of Hinton Nuisance Bylaw has specific provisions that address the standards that properties must be kept in; more specifically, it details how they should not be kept. In most cases, when a property is claimed to be unsightly or nuisance, it is due to neglect of articles in the yard as opposed to what the articles are.
