I agree with Hal and Greg. Did the town actually say that you were violating a city ordinance or did they just inform you that someone complained? Hiring an attorney may be throwing money away. I have a couple of GC friends that have received letters from their city’s that a neighbor has complained about an illegal home business and their businesses need to be shutdown immediately. Both of them called the city departments that sent the letters to find out what the problem was. After explaining the type of business being done the city’s told them to ignore the letters. About a year later on of them received another letter from the city with the same complaint. They called and explained that they went through this a year ago were again told to ignore the letter. I think the city finds it much easier and cheaper to send a form letter and let you come to them to find out if there actually is a problem.
