County To Forgive $20K In Code Fines, If Molino Couple Cleans Up Property
June 19, 2009
The Escambia County Commission has agreed to forgive almost $20,000 in code enforcement fines on a piece of Molino property worth just $39,000 — if the new property owners will clean up the property to the county’s satisfaction.
When Claude and Sherrill Ward obtained the half acre lot at 1233 Betts Avenue, they inherited a code enforcement lien totaling $20,032.50. The property had been accumulating a fine of $25 per day since December 21, 2005. The property appraiser says the lot is worth $39,420.
“If you are willing to get the property in compliance and prove that it is in compliance and come back,”District 5 Commissioner Kevin White said, “we’ll forgive the fines but not the hard costs.”
Thursday night, the Escambia County Commission agreed to drop all but $675 in court costs on the property, if the Wards will bring the property into compliance with code enforcement orders.
