A unique property was seized due to unpermitted buildings and its owner was forced to leave. The owner, David Lee Hoffman, had constructed buildings and caves on the property over 53 years for his tea import business. He had been in a lengthy legal battle with the county over the lack of permits for the work.

The court ultimately ruled in favor of the county, leading to the seizure of the property and an order for Hoffman to vacate. The property is to be sold to a new owner.

Further details on the situation are available from the source, including the owner's reaction to being forced to leave his property.
