This section is included in your selections.

(1) No person shall cause or allow an unsightly or malodorous accumulation of junk, garbage, animal feces, scrap metal, scrap lumber, used tires, discarded building material, appliances or fixtures, or dismantled machinery on public or private property unless the property is in lawful use for junk storage or recycling in compliance with applicable state and federal laws and this Code.

(2) A violation of this section constitutes a violation. Every day in which the accumulation exists constitutes a separate violation. In a prosecution for violation of this section, the property owner shown on the tax records of Jackson County, the lessee, or other person in control of the property shall be presumed to have caused or allowed the accumulation unless that presumption is rebutted by either party.

(3) The unlawful accumulation of junk is declared to be a public nuisance, and may be abated in the manner provided in section 5.520.
