Lien or Fine Reduction Program

The City Council adopted Resolution 9-09 to assist owners of properties that are being sold or have been purchased through foreclosure. The City Council adopted procedures and criteria to assist owners of properties for all other scenarios for the reduction of liens or fines under Ordinance 2-88.5.  

Please contact the Code Compliance Division at 239.574.0613 for more information if your foreclosure sale requires a short sale.  Additionally, please contact us if your property sale is affected by another joint property in foreclosure and you need a partial release.

For consideration, fill out the application and submit it to the Code Compliance Division for review. Please understand that each reduction of lien will require an extensive examination of the lien and case file and requires a minimum of two weeks to complete the lien reduction process.  Please submit your application as soon as possible to expedite your lien reduction.
