The Lien Amnesty Program is a one time program to run from April 1, 2009 to September 30, 2009. City Council approved an extension of the program to run until November 30, 2009. The program goal is to provide relief to properties that have been clouded by financial encumbrances due to penalties placed as Order(s) Imposing Lien on the property. Hence, properties become more viable to owners to maintain and marketable during this substantial national economic downturn.
This program allows an individual to request the release of any Order(s) Imposing Lien from a property for payment of 20% of the unpaid fine amounts. Applications must be submitted and qualifying criteria must be met.
