Abbeville city hall sends citizen $2,500 bill after city hires contractor to clean part of her yard
The city of Abbeville is getting tougher about enforcing ordinances regarding abandoned houses, overgrown yards, and junk-inoperable vehicles in yards.
Just ask long-time Abbeville resident Sandra Goodman, 71, about how tough the city is getting on cleaning up Abbeville.
Last month, she received a bill from the city that was $2,500.
The bill was divided into two parts. The largest amount, $1,675, was for the contractor the city hired to clean her yard.
The other part, $837, is for the city’s administrator fee.
