17444
. (a) Any installment of an owner's development lien created
pursuant to this article shall become delinquent 30 days following
billing thereof if unpaid, or if the installment is being collected
by the county tax collector, at the time general taxes become
delinquent. An installment shall be in default 30 days after written
notice of the delinquency has been given by certified or registered
mail to the record owner of the property subject to the lien and all
lenders of record.
(b) The governing board, not later than four years after the date
of default of any payment, may order that the amount be collected by
an action brought in superior court to foreclose against the real
property subject to the owner's development lien for the then
delinquent installment of the owner's development lien. The action
shall affect only the delinquent amounts and shall not accelerate or
require payment of any remaining amount of the owner's development
lien.
(c) The lease agreement between the governing board and the
nonprofit corporation may contain covenants for the benefit of
bondholders providing that the governing board shall commence and
diligently prosecute to completion any foreclosure action regarding
delinquent installments of an owner's development lien. The lease
agreement may specify a deadline for commencement of the foreclosure
action and any other terms and conditions that the governing board
may determine to be reasonable.
(d) The governing board may assign its rights under this section
to the nonprofit corporation or to any trustee under the resolution
adopted pursuant to Section 17437.
(e) Costs in the action shall be fixed and allowed by the court
and shall include, but are not limited to, reasonable attorneys'
fees, interest, penalties and other charges or advances authorized by
this article, and when so fixed and allowed by the court, the costs
shall be included in the judgment. The amount of penalties, costs,
and interest due shall be calculated up to the date of judgment.
(f) All matters pertaining to foreclosure, execution and sale
shall be governed by the then existing law of California. However,
notwithstanding any other law, the owner's right of redemption shall
be limited to 60 days following the date of sale of the owner's
interest. The owner's development lien shall continue as security for
all future required installment payments. Any remaining funds after
foreclosure and payment of all obligations and costs of foreclosure
of the delinquent installment of the owner's development lien shall
be paid pursuant to the priority of encumbrances of record and to the
owner or owner's successor as of the date of initiation of the
foreclosure proceeding.
(g) Foreclosures of installments of the owner's development lien
pursuant to this article shall not affect the priority of any scheme
of community development approved by the Bureau of Real Estate,
including, but not limited to, subdivision maps, condominium plans,
covenants, conditions, restrictions, and easements whether recorded
prior to or subsequent to the owner's development lien.
