Why Acting Fast is Essential?
In your state, if your vacant property isn’t properly maintained or registered, you could face serious consequences, including:
Up to 180 days in jail
Suspension of your driver’s license
Fines up to $1,000
These aren’t just theoretical risks—they are real penalties that can be enforced without warning.
But there’s good news: AHP can help you avoid these outcomes through proactive measures and expert support tailored specifically to your needs.
