SUMMARY:
Established by Resolution 22-R16 in March 2022, the Infill Lien Reduction Program promotes reinvestment and revitalization of vacant infill property by providing the property owner reasonable relief from liens levied prior to their ownership in exchange for the development of that vacant parcel. To be eligible for the program, the property must be an infill vacant lot within the city limits of Fort Pierce with no active code enforcement or nuisance abatement cases against it. The applicant must also affirm that they were not an owner or affiliated in any way with the property at the time the liens were originally recorded. Via development agreement, the City will waive all soft costs associated with the liens and provide a 50% refund of the hard costs paid.
Initial contact was made with the property owner of 201 N. 8th Street in November 2021 while the program was being created. The applicant subsequently applied for building permits and began construction on the single-family home in accordance with the program.
The terms of the agreement are as follows:
