TIME APPROXIMATE: STAFF CONTACT: Kelly Dugan
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Authorization to initiate litigation against PEDRO ARMSTRONG &
CANDELA BRAVO ARMSTRONG and their property, 292 Buttonwood Shores Dr., Key Largo,
Florida, to seek compliance with the County Code and enforce the lien(s) arising from code compliance
case number CE20100037.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
CE20100037: This property has been the subject of a code compliance case for 1)building permits
required— construction of a chickee but and installation of a pool/spa(not compliant); 2)permit
application time limit -permit application#21301533 was submitted 7/23/2021 for a chickee hut.
Permit was ready to be picked up on 4/14/2022. Permit was not picked up. Application is null and void
(not compliant); and 3) failure to obtain inspections—permit#18302096 for a pool and spa was issued
3/16/2020 (compliant). The fines total $95,000.00 as of July 11, 2024, and will continue to accrue at
$200.00 per day, until compliance is achieved.
A hearing was scheduled for March 30, 2023, and the property owners were not present. The Special
Magistrate found the property in violation and ordered a compliance date of August 7, 2023. The
County's lien was recorded on August 11, 2023. A subsequent hearing was held on February 22, 2024,
and the property owner was present. The Special Magistrate found the property remained in violation
and granted the County's motion to proceed with collections. The code case remains open for non-
compliance and failure to pay outstanding fines and costs.
The Monroe County Property Appraiser lists the Just Market Value as $2,191,219. The property is
homesteaded and there are no pending foreclosure actions at this time. There is a mortgage in the
amount of$1,000,000 which predates the County's lien.
2360
Under the policy adopted in Resolution 057-2014 the available legal options in regard to the County's
lien on this property are:
1. Initiate litigation against the property owner for injunction and/or money judgment;
2. Allow the liens to remain against the property owner, the subject property and any other property
owned by the property owner; and/or,
3. Release the lien.
County staff recommends (option 1) initiating litigation against the property owner for injunction and/or
money judgment.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION:
Approval of Resolution No. 057-2014 on March 19, 2014 adopting "ATTACHMENT A" as Procedure
to be used after a Final Order has been rendered by the Code Compliance Special Magistrate to initiate
injunctive relief for non-compliant properties, foreclosure and/or money judgment actions for collection
of unpaid fines and/or costs from a property owner.

Dear Property Owners,
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that Monroe County, Florida has imposed a lien against your property as
a result of the above referenced code compliance action. This lien is a lien on the property that was the subject of
the code compliance action and upon any and all other real and/or personal property you own.
Our records indicate that the violation(s)remains on your property. Because your property is not in compliance the
fines continue to accrue in the amount of$300.00 per day until the property comes into compliance. A daily fine
of$300.00 per day has currently accrued for 86 days for a current total of$25,800.00.
Additionally, pursuant to F.S. §162.07(2), since the County prevailed in prosecuting the case before the Special
Magistrate for Code Compliance, the County is entitled to recover all costs incurred in prosecuting the case and
those costs are included in the lien authorized under F.S. §162.09(3). To date, these costs are $466.69 and costs
will continue to accrue until the violations are corrected and the case is closed.
Therefore, the current amount of the Monroe County lien is $26,266.69 and fines and costs will continue to accrue
until compliance is achieved and payment is received.
Failure to bring your property into compliance within 15 days may result in a referral to the Monroe County
Attorney's Office for further action.
