Hendry County attorneys cleared to pursue foreclosure on 11 code‑enforcement lien properties
Summary
County attorney Matt Rollerson told the board Aug. 26 that state statute requires authorization to begin foreclosure proceedings for delinquent code‑enforcement liens; commissioners directed staff to proceed with foreclosure on the listed properties, with staff noting the process remains subject to title searches and compliance efforts.
County attorney Matt Rollerson briefed the Hendry County Board of County Commissioners on Aug. 26 about a list of code‑enforcement lien foreclosures and asked for board authorization to proceed on identified properties.
Rollerson said seeking authorization does not automatically trigger foreclosure in every case; staff will perform title searches and continue evaluating compliance opportunities for individual properties. He noted one property on the list was actively pursuing compliance, and staff will continue to consider alternatives when possible.
The board voted to authorize staff to proceed with foreclosure proceedings on the 11 identified properties, directing the county attorney and code enforcement to continue case‑by‑case evaluation while starting the legal process where necessary.
Ending: The county will begin the procedural steps required by statute to pursue foreclosure on the listed code‑enforcement liens while continuing to evaluate compliance and title matters on each property.
