Summary
The special magistrate approved staff's recommendation to reduce a $20,048.20 lien on the Magnolia parcel to $9,021.69 under lien-amnesty guidelines; the reduced payment must be made within 15 business days or the lien reverts to the full amount.
The special magistrate approved staff's recommended lien-amnesty reduction for the Magnolia parcel (parcel 734403003900) from $20,048.20 to $9,021.69 under the city's lien-amnesty guidelines.
Staff explained the adjustment factors applied: 25% for the violator status, 10% for complying within one to three years, and 20% for no prior case history. The owner (introduced in the record) confirmed acceptance of the recommended reduction; the magistrate ordered the reduced amount must be paid within 15 business days or the lien will revert to the full amount.
The owner testified they live out of town and said they were unaware of certified mailings earlier; staff confirmed notices were mailed to the address on the county property-appraiser records. The magistrate noted the procedure and confirmed the payment deadline and the record of posting and mailing required for jurisdiction.
