The County has over 1,000 outstanding Code Enforcement liens on residential and non-residential properties. This two-month program will enable property owners/lienholders to apply to have 100% of the outstanding lien balance forgiven and the lien released. The program will run from October 1, 2021, to November 30, 2021.

In order for a property owner/lienholder to participate in the program, the property must be in compliance with all county codes, file an application before November 30, 2021, and pay a $250 nonrefundable application fee.

As of July 31, 2021, the Office of Finance Management and Budget holds a total of 1,079 recorded liens on residential and non-residential properties. Of these liens, 79% are currently in compliance.

This program may motivate property owners who are not in compliance to make improvements that will bring their property into compliance. In addition, this program will help to stimulate the sale of properties that may have been otherwise unmarketable due to the encumbrance of Code Liens and allow property owners to refinance their properties.
