Compensation For Loss Of Economic Utility

In 1995, the Florida Legislature passed the Bert J. Harris, Jr. Private Property Protection Act to afford property owners relief, or payment of compensation, when a new law, rule, regulation, or ordinance of the state or a political entity in the state, as applied, unfairly affects real property.

The City's new ordinance requiring a minimum six month and one day lease in single family districts may be exactly the type of unfair affect the Bert Harris Act was instituted for.

We encourage you to:
  1. Read the Bert J. Harris, Jr. Private Property Protection Act.
  2. Read the Attorney General's Advisory Legal Opinion regarding a similar case in Lauderdale By The Sea.
  3. Contact an Attorney and file a claim before the 1 year deadline, which we calculate to be March 7, 2010, at a minimum.
We would appreciate knowing if you intend to file a claim. We cannot provide legal advice, but we can share information. Keep in touch - miamibeachpropertyrights@gmail.com
