Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

In 2004, Palm Beach County Housing & Community Development placed a 30-year lien (balloon mtg) on my property for an application for utility connection and impact fees. The service was never provided and now, in 2011, the town where I live is now requesting that all "Cinquez Park" residents get connected to water and sewer. They have offered to let each resident have a grant for these services through Palm Beach County Housing & Community Development. This will make me have 2-30 year liens (one for services not rendered). I have told the Town of Jupiter about this along with PBC H&CD and they researched it only to come back and tell me that there is a lien (it is on court records as well). However, they still want me to complete another application. What should be my next step?

Whether you complete the application or not, you should push to have the first lien removed. This is an emcumbrance on your property which is causing damage to the marketability of your title for work not performed.
