Date of Meeting: Date Submitted: To: From: Subject: Statement of Issue: Board of County Commissioners Agenda Request November 17, 2026 October 26, 2026 Honorable Chairperson and Members of the Board Reginald James, Interim County Administrator Sonya D. Burns, Housing Coordinator Approval and Signature(s) for Satisfaction of Special Assessment Lien This agenda item seeks Board approval and signatures to satisfy the Special Assessment Lien between the Gadsden County SHIP Housing Homebuyer Program and Homeowner. Background: The loan is funded by the State Housing Initiative Partnership (SHIP) Program through the State of Florida or the Gadsden County Board of County Commissioners and does not require repayment. Repayment of the loan, when required, is based upon the prorated principal balance for the term of the loan that has not expired. The Owner and the Gadsden County Community Development SHIP Housing Programs has agreed that the owner shall remain in the house for a full (10) ten-year period or (5) five-year period or (2) two- year period at no annual rate of interest and once the (10) ten-year period or (5) year-period is completed, the lien would be forgiven and satisfied. The homeowner(s) are required to pay the fees to have the lien recorded and the Clerk of Courts office and the Community Development office will provide them with a copy of the recorded document and keep the original in homeowner' s file. Analysis: As agreed, upon by the Owner(s) and the Gadsden County Community Development Housing Rehabilitation Program, the owner has fully completed the (10) 10-year, (5) five-year or (2) two year period the lien is due to be forgiven and satisfied. Fiscal Impact: None 7d

Burns, SI-ITP Housing Coordinator Approval of Signatures for Special Assessment Liens and Contracts - State Housing Initiative Partnership Program (SI-IlP) This agenda item seeks Board approval and signatures for the Special Assessment Lien and Rehabilitation Contract that was agreed upon by the Homeowner, Contractor, and Community Development Administration's SHIP Housing Programs. Bac!fground: To protect the interest of the County, the State requires that a lien and contract be placed on the homes that are going to be rehabilitated with SI-ITP/ER funds or assisted with the purchase of a home. The Special Assessment Lien was signed and needs to be recorded once the homeowners have been awarded the Deferred Payment Loan to rehabilitate their home. The loan is funded by the State Housing Initiative Partnership SI-ITP Program through the State of Florida and does not require repayment. Repayment of the loan, when required, is based upon the prorated principal balance for the term of the loan that has not expired. The Owners and the Gadsden County Community Development Administration's Housing Rehabilitation Program have agreed that the owners shall remain in the house a full five-year period at no annual rate of interest and once the five-year period is completed the lien would be forgiven and satisfied. The homeowners are required to pay fees to have the lien recorded at the Gadsden County Clerk or Court's office and the Gadsden County Community Development Administration office will furnish them a copy of the recorded document and keep the original for our files.
