Brown, Sr. — Requesting Waiving Lien on Lot 7, <br />Block 4, Spruce Park Subdivision <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Indian River County had placed a demolition lien on the above described property on <br />May 11, 1993 in the amount of $6 232.96 for the cost of removing a dilapidated building from <br />the property. The lien accrued interest at the rate of 12% per annum, which accrued interest <br />through May 10, 2002 amounts to $6,731.64 which was paid from taxing funds. The total <br />amount now payable on the lien is $12,964.60. <br />Mr. Curtis Brown purchased Lot 7, Block 4 in the Spruce Park Subdivision from his <br />sister. Mr. Brown says he was unaware there was a lien on the property, and that the lot is not <br />worth the $12,964.60 due.
