An ordinance amending Paragraph (a) of Section 2-36 of
the Code of Ordinances of Miami Shores Village, Florida, is hereby
amended to read as follows:
Sec. 2-26. FINES AND LIENS.
(a) Fines: The enforcement board, upon notification
by the code inspector that a previous order of the board
has not been complied with by the set time, may order the
violator to pay a fine not to exceed two hundred and fifty
dollars ($250.00) for each day the violation continues
passed the date set for compliance. The enforcement board
may also impose reasonable administrative costs in addition
to the fine provided for herein. A certified copy of an
order imposing a fine may be recorded in the public records
and thereafter shall constitute a lien against the land on
which the violation exists, or, if the violator does not
own the land, upon any other real or personal property
owned by the violator and may be enforced in the same
manner as a court judgment by the sheriffs of this state,
including levy against the personal property, but shall not
be deemed otherwise to be a judgment of a court except for
enforcement purposes. Miami Shores Village may also recover
reasonable attorney's fees and court costs in connection
with such enforcement actions. After one year from the
filing of any such lien which remains unpaid, the board may
authorize the city attorney to foreclose on the lien.
