Diane Pearson, who fought North Port code fees, could now lose home to foreclosure

A single mother who was instrumental in reversing North Port’s harsh code-enforcement policies could now lose her home to foreclosure.

Last year, North Port tried to collect $27,000 in fines from Diane Pearson because a car in her driveway did not have a license plate.

Pearson’s court battle became a rallying cry in North Port for others who battled the city over virtually limitless fines for code infractions.
