§ 1.25.110. Creation of lien for unpaid administrative fines.


Latest version.
  • A.

    In addition to any other remedy provided by law, if an administrative fine is not paid within the time period provided for in this chapter, and the underlying violation pertains to the condition of real property owned in whole or in part by the responsible person(s), the amount of the unpaid administrative fine shall become a lien on that real property and the issuing department may enforce and collect the unpaid administrative fine by recording a notice of lien against that real property in the office of the registrar-recorder/county clerk.

    B.

    When a notice of lien has been recorded, and the full amount of the corresponding administrative fine is subsequently paid to the issuing department, the issuing department shall promptly record a notice of satisfaction of lien. Upon recordation of the notice of satisfaction of lien, the lien shall be cancelled.
