Appendix 4860. Lien.


Latest version.
  • If a civil penalty or abatement cost is assessed against any person by any court of competent jurisdiction, or by the Environmental Health Department or an examiner, and if said civil penalty or abatement cost has not been paid within sixty (60) days after the order thereon became final and conclusive, the County of Ventura shall have a lien against any property of any person, including, without limitation, any public water system, against whom the penalty or cost was assessed. The Environmental Health Department may record such lien with the Office of the County Recorder and the amount stated in such lien, unless sooner paid, shall be collected as a part of the first tax assessment following recordation of the lien, or shall be collected upon sale of the subject property, whichever occurs first, or may be enforced by an action in the superior or municipal courts of this state. Upon payment, the Environmental Health Department shall record a release of lien.
