County Collection Services, Inc. v. Charnock
District Court of Appeal of Florida
Decided June 20, 2001No. 4D00-1631PublishedCited by 6 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtStevenson, J.
In the instant appeal, we must decide whether Palm Beach County has the authority to contract with a third party for the enforcement of lot clearing and code *1110enforcement liens and then to assign the liens to that private party. We find merit in the arguments raised on appeal and hold that Palm Beach County does have the power to assign such liens and that, under the terms of the contract at issue, there has been no improper delegation of Palm Beach County’s police powers. The final order on appeal is therefore reversed.
