"Except as otherwise expressly permitted, it shall be prohibited in all parts of the city to park of continuously store abandoned, wrecked, junked or inoperable vehicles,

power-driven construction equipment, used lumber or metal or any other miscellaneous scrap material in a quantity that is visible from a public street or adjacent or surrounding property."

The Blairsville Police Department will begin enforcing this ordinance. There may be a civil fine, not to exceed $1,000, for each violation of this ordinance. If you have any questions or would like a copy of the ordinance, please contact City Hall at 706-745-2000.
