DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
On May 13, 2024, a Code Enforcement Board lien was recorded against Lyndon Ahmad Rashad Knowles and Flor Denis Familia for having an accessory building and accessory use without a principal residential structure on their 6.87-acre property in the Town of Orange Springs.
In June 2024, the mortgagee for the property, MG Cattle Co LLC, filed for foreclosure action, but the County’s lien was not included in the foreclosure case (case no. 2024-CA-1123). MG Cattle Co LLC cleared the violations and subsequently purchased the property at the foreclosure sale. The new owner submitted the lien reduction request and paid the $250 fee. The Code Enforcement Board heard the request on May 14, 2025, and based on the testimony presented, the Code Board recommended the Board of County Commissioners rescind the lien upon payment of the County’s case costs.
Code Enforcement Board liens $ 6,000.00
Case costs $ 1,401.85
