Do you have an open Code Enforcement case where you have corrected the violation, but there is an active per-diem-fine that is accruing? The City of Miami understands that you would like an opportunity to discuss your fines with either the Code Enforcement Board or the City Commission.
As of November 29, 2022, Chapter 2/Article X/section 2-817 of the Code of The City of Miami was amended.
- If you are asking for a Mitigation for a) a homestead property, b) a single-family or duplex residential property, c) a vacant land where the immediate, previous use was as single family or duplex structure, or d) a property owned by a 501(c)(3) and eleemosynary organization, then you may be able to request a Mitigation before the Code Enforcement Board.
- If you are asking for a Mitigation for a non-homestead property that has fines running that are more than 271 days old, and that is part of a bankruptcy proceeding or is part of a litigation settlement involving the City of Miami, then you may be able to request a Mitigation before the City Commission.
- If you are asking for a Mitigation for a non-homestead property that has fines running that are less than 271 days old, then you may be able to request a Mitigation before the Code Enforcement Board in accordance with the table found in Section 2-817(d) of The City Code.
- If you are asking for a Mitigation for a non-homestead property that has fines running that are more than 271 days old, then a Mitigation is not available. You will need to pay 100% of the fines due, pursuant to Section 2-817(d) of The City Code.
