Mineral Wells council overhauls dangerous-buildings ordinance, shifts final call to council

Source: City of Mineral Wells public notice (Weatherford Democrat public notices) · Passed July 7, 2026

The Mineral Wells City Council passed an ordinance July 7 amending Chapter 26 of the city code covering dangerous buildings and structures, according to the city's published public notice. The change establishes a board of city staff to make initial determinations and issue notices, eliminates the prior building and standards commission, and requires that final decisions and abatement orders be made by the city council itself. It also updates the definition of a dangerous building and other outdated language, and sets a penalty of up to $2,000 for violations.
