§ 16.30.190. Special assessment and lien.  


Latest version.
  • If the amount set forth in the bill for abatement costs is not paid upon demand, the abatement costs shall be placed upon the county tax roll by the county auditor as special assessments against the respective parcels of land, or placed on the unsecured roll, pursuant to section 25845 of the California Government Code; provided, however, that the abatement costs shall not be placed on the tax roll if paid in full prior to entry of said costs on the tax roll. The fire code official shall prepare and have a notice of lien recorded in the office of the county recorder. Upon the recordation of the notice of lien, the amount claimed shall constitute a lien upon the subject property, in compliance with Government Code section 25845. After recordation, the notice of lien shall be delivered to the county auditor, who will enter the amount of the lien on the assessment roll as a special assessment. Thereafter, the amount set forth shall be collected at the same time and in the same manner as ordinary county taxes, and is subject to the same penalties and interest, and to the same procedures for foreclosure and sale in case of delinquency, as are provided for ordinary county taxes; all laws applicable to the levy, collection and enforcement of county taxes are hereby made applicable to the assessment.
