Section 50247 Of Article 9. Abandoned Excavations From California Government Code >> Division 1. >> Title 5. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 1. >> Article 9.

. The cost of abatement upon each parcel of land constitutes a
special assessment against that parcel. After the assessment is made
and confirmed, it is a lien on the parcel. Such lien attaches upon
recordation in the office of the county recorder of the county in
which the property is situated of a certified copy of the resolution
of confirmation. The assessment may be collected at the same time and
in the same manner as ordinary municipal ad valorem taxes are
collected, and shall be subject to the same penalties and the same
procedure and sale in case of delinquency as provided for such taxes.
All laws applicable to the levy, collection and enforcement of
municipal ad valorem taxes shall be applicable to such assessment,
except that if any real property to which such lien would attach has
been transferred or conveyed to a bona fide purchaser for value, or
if a lien of a bona fide encumbrancer for value has been created and
attaches thereon, prior to the date on which the first installment of
such taxes would become delinquent, then the lien which would
otherwise be imposed by this section shall not attach to such real
property and the cost of abatement shall be transferred to the
unsecured roll for collection.
