Town of Miami Lakes
Memorandum

To:Honorable Vice-Mayor and Councilmembers
From:Mayor Manny Cid
Subject:Lien Amnesty Program
Date:1/17/2017

Recommendation:
The Lien Amnesty program established by the Town in 2015 was very successful, however as of December 2016, there are approximately 150 cases that were eligible for the Town's Lien Amnesty Program where the Owners failed to apply. Each month the Town receives several requests from the property owners of these cases that wish to resolve their outstanding liens.

In lieu of re- opening the Lien Amnesty program, I would like to request a consideration for home owners pending cases to go to The Hearing Master for reevaluation where extra ordinary circumstances did occur but in no event the maximum reduction will be not less than 70 % of the current lien amount.

Fiscal Impact: TBD
