Submitted For:
Peggy Arraiz

SUBJECT:

Waive interest, penalties and administrative fees in the amount of $324.40 for lot clearing lien against 3061 S 10th St, Ft. Pierce, FL owned by Elizabeth Brown, 5202 Palmetto Dr., Ft. Pierce, FL, contingent upon payment of $139.93 within 60 days.

SUMMARY:

BACKGROUND: Ms. Brown purchased the property from a foreclosing bank, however, the lot clearing occurred with the owner prior to the bank. The lien remained active and new owners are requesting the reduction. Lot Clearing liens only attach to the property and do not "spread" by attaching to a name.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends waiving interest, penalties, and administrative fees of $324.40 leaving a balance due of $139.93 payable in 60 days.
Recommendation is based on:
1.  The lot was cleared before she became the owner in 2002.
2.  Since purchasing the lot, the property has been maintained.

ALTERNATIVES:

2.  Determine alternative amount.
