SUBJECT:
-SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO MIAMI EACH CITY CODE SECTIONS 14A-11 AND
45-12 (D) AUTHORIZING THE IMPOSITION AND FORECLOSURE OF
MUNICIPAL LIENS.
The attached ordinances amending Sections 14A-11 and 45-12 (d) of
the Miami Beach City Code, providing for the imposition of special
assessment liens on real property (thus taking priority in
foreclosures over all other liens while being in parity with ad
valorum taxes) was presented to the City Commission at its July 11,
1990 meeting for first reading. Since that time, the City
Attorney' s office has had occasion to review all of the sections
in the City Code pertaining to municipal liens on property, and the
foreclosure thereof; in this regard, all of the relevant City Code
Sections, including the subject sections 14A-11 and 45-12 (d) , are
being amended to not only dessignate municipal liens as "special
assessment liens" , but further to provide that such liens shall be
foreclosed under general provisions of law applicable to
foreclosure of mortgages, or pursuant to the provisions of Chapter
173 , Florida Statutes.
In light of the substantial change to the subject ordinances
amending Code sections 14a-11 and 45-12 (d) , a second reading of
these ordinances will be required at the first Commission meeting
in September, 1990.
