AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Authorization to initiate litigation against AARON T. MILLS and
JOHN B. MILLS and their property, 549 Croton Ln., Big Pine Key, Florida, to seek compliance with
the County Code and enforce the lien(s) arising from code compliance case number CE23120007.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
CE23120007: This property has been the subject of a code compliance case for mandatory
connection/sewer(not compliant). The fines total $41,600.00 as of November 14, 2025, and will
continue to accrue at $100.00 per day, until compliance is achieved.
A hearing was scheduled for March 21, 2024, and the property owners were not present. The Special
Magistrate found the property in violation and ordered a compliance date of September 23, 2024. The
County's lien was recorded on October 11, 2024. A subsequent hearing was held on August 28, 2025,
and the property owners were not 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 of the property as $693,156. The
property is homesteaded and there are no pending foreclosure actions at this time. There is a mortgage
on the property which predates the County's lien.
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 lien to remain against the property owner, the subject property and any other property
3279
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

of unpaid fines and/or costs from a property owner.

as a result of the above referenced code compliance action. This lien is a lien on the property that was the subject

fine of$ 100.00 per day has currently accrued for 108 days for a current total of$ 10800.00.
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 $534.00 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 $ 11,334.00 and fines and costs will continue to
accrue until compliance is achieved and payment is received.

Brenedy,
Here are the last of the sewer cases on this spreadsheet to open cases for. I highlighted the newest ones in a different
color. Please send files to Marathon as before. To Note: I got no reply for the email sent to Privateer
Alliance. Bluewater replied. They are unable to finish connections due to owner circumstances either payment due or
unable to get to abandonment site on the lot. Property owners to be notified by Code for connection completion
requirement.
If anyone has questions, please let me know.
Thanks.

ACTIONS FOR COLLECTION OF UNPAID FINES AND/OR COSTS FROM A PROPERTY
OWNER
7 `I
1. Special Magistrate (SM) enters a Final. Order imposing a compliance date, fines and/or casts
after a finding of violation of Monroe County Code(s) by property owner(violator) or
r
approving a Stipulated Agreement with an agreed upon compliance date and fine amounts. The
Final Order of SM providing the compliance date, and imposing fines and/or costs is provided
to the property owner as soon as practicable. Referrals, if not made previously, are made to
other agencies in appropriate circumstances. 1
2. The final Order of the SM is recorded by Code Compliance (CC) as a lien by Code
Compliance within 14 days after the compliance date for those cases that have not achieved ,
compliance.
3. The Final Order of the SM is recorded as a lien by CC within 45 days after the compliance date
for those cases that have achieved compliance by the compliance date but have outstanding t
costs in excess of$200. 1
i
4. If compliance is not achieved within 75 days of the recording of the lien, then a re-inspection of
the property is completed by the Code Inspector assigned to the case. If the property is still not
in compliance then a demand letter including the current amount of fines and/or costs is sent to
the property owner,
5. If compliance is not achieved within 90 days of'the recording of the lien and/or the lien is not
satisfied, then. CC will research the subject property to determine:
i. if the subject property is homesteaded;
ii. if the subject property is the only property owned by property owner/violator;
iii. what efforts, if"any, the property owner has made to achieve compliance;
iv. the amount of the lien accrued to date; and
v. any other relevant factors, including but not limited to researching the status of the
property owner, i.e. any Lis Pendens filed against the property or property owner, any
pending or closed foreclosure actions, any open, pending or discharged Bankruptcy
petitions.
6. CC staff shall provide a written memo or email to the County Attorney's Office (CAY)with
i
the results of the research outlined and requested further action,
7. The CAY will review the information provided by CC staff.
8. The CAY will move the SM per F.S. 162.09 for an Order authorizing foreclosure or a money
judgment action; and,
March 19, 2014 Code Lien Procedure
3319
i. The Code Compliance Liaison (Liaison) will schedule the motion for the next
available SM hearing for a Motion for approval to proceed with a foreclosure and/or
money judgment action;
ii. The Liaison will mail a Notice of Hearing and Notice of Motion prepared by the
Liaison and signed by the CAY to the property owner by certified mail noticing the
owner of the date, time, place and the substance (collection action, foreclosure
and/or money judgment and/or writ of attachment) of the motion;
iii. The Liaison will email/calendar a re-inspection request to the assigned Inspector to
conduct inspection prior to the next available SM hearing;
iv. The Motion hearing is heard by SM on the specified date;
v. If SM finds foreclosure or money judgment is appropriate, the Liaison will notice
the property owner of the SM's ruling and email/calendar a re-inspection request to
the assigned Inspector to conduct an inspection within 30 days of the SM ruling;
vi. CAY will seek permission from the Board of County Commissioners to file for
foreclosure or money judgment in court;
vii. The assigned Code Inspector will continue to monitor the property for compliance
through re-inspections every 90 days and attempts to notify the owner by a quick
email letter, telephone call or demand letter every 90 days to inform them that the
property is not in compliance and fines are running. The assigned Code Inspector
will. provide written updates to the CAY every 90 days.
9. Subsequent to the SM's ruling on the Motion, the CAY will place an item on the Commission's
agenda seeking the Board's direction and authorization on further enforcement and collection
efforts. Potential options for litigation include seeking injunctive relief, a money judgment for
the unpaid fines, foreclosure, or other relief. Potential non-litigation options include referral to
another agency, allowing liens to accrue, or other relief.
10. If the recommended legal action is referral to another agency, release of lien, or allowing liens
to accrue, CAY will send a written memo or email to the Director of Code Compliance
outlining recommendation.
11. Once authority is granted by SM and/or Board of County Commissioners, CC will order a title
search on non-homesteaded properties, and the assigned Code Inspector will conduct a re-
inspection after receipt of the title search. Litigation will commence after the title search is
completed and a current re-inspection is completed. The assigned Code Inspector will continue
to monitor the property for compliance through re-inspections every 90 days and attempts to
contact the property owner by a quick email letter, telephone call or demand letter every 90
days that the property is not in compliance and fines are running. The assigned Inspector will
provide written updates to the CAY every 90 days.
12. If the Board decides not to authorize injunction or enforcement litigation, a decision from the
Board could include direction to:
i. Allow lien to remain filed and accrue interest until sale or refinancing; or
ii. Release the lien; or
iii. Request CC staff to provide a progress report on compliance efforts annually at
the March BOCC meeting.
Exception—If a violation poses a serious threat to the public health, safety & welfare then immediate
permission to file an action for an inspection warrant, injunction and/or demolition may be sought with
BOCC direction.
