Taos faces tough code enforcement over beautification
Taos code enforcement chief Joe Ortiz has pushed to give teeth to the rules since April, clashing with merchants over signs and landscaping. Brandenburg notes residents must maintain property up to street midlines and face up to $300 fines or 90 days in jail for violations. Codes have existed since 1969, with strict rules on landscaping and outdoor vehicle storage. Ortiz plans spring outreach to merchants on landscaping while addressing urgent code issues.
