Why use Hera?

Unfortunately, the compliance rate with VPOs is often significantly low, as mortgagees and other responsible parties ignore their obligations to register properties. Further, local governments are often without resources to identify and track down mortgagees and other parties who fail to comply with the VPO requirements. In fact, many local governments are owed substantial registration fees and fines from parties who have refused to register and maintain their properties.

Using Hera when enacting a best practice ordinance provides your municipality with a team of dedicated professionals, assigned to your community ensuring results. We can work with you to develop a vacant property ordinance tailored to the needs of your community, at the same time our partners at Milberg will ensure it meets legal requirements and is fully enforced.

All our services, including our proprietary platform, are provided at zero cost to the community, with our costs recovered through a fee-sharing and contingency agreement. Hera reduces cost and increases revenue.
