Section 2065 Of Article 5. Abatement From California Health And Safety Code >> Division 3. >> Chapter 1. >> Article 5.
2065
. (a) The owner of the property abated pursuant to Section 2061
shall pay the district for the cost of abating the public nuisance
and the cost of any necessary actions to prevent the recurrence of
the public nuisance. The owner shall also pay any civil penalty
imposed pursuant to Section 2063.
(b) If the owner of the property fails to pay the district's costs
within 60 days, the board of trustees may order the costs and any
civil penalties charged and collected against the property. The
charge shall be collected at the same time and in the same manner as
ordinary county taxes are collected, and shall be subject to the same
penalties and the same procedure 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 applicable to
the costs and civil penalties charged and collected against the
property.
(c) If the board of trustees charges the costs and any civil
penalties against the parcel, the board of trustees may also cause
the notice of abatement lien to be recorded. The notice shall, at a
minimum, identify the record owner of the property, set forth the
last known address of the record owner, set forth the date upon which
the abatement of the public nuisance was ordered by the board of
trustees, set forth the date upon which the abatement and any
necessary actions to prevent the recurrence of the public nuisance
was complete, and include a description of the real property subject
to the lien and the amount of the cost and any civil penalties.
(d) However, if the board of trustees does not cause the
recordation of a notice of abatement lien pursuant to subdivision
(c), and any real property to which the costs and any civil penalties
relate has been transferred or conveyed to a bona fide purchaser for
value, or a lien on a bona fide encumbrancer for value has been
created and attaches to that property, prior to the date on which the
first installment of county taxes would become delinquent, then the
cost and any civil penalties may not result in a lien against that
real property but shall be transferred to the unsecured roll for
collection.
(e) Recordation of a notice of abatement lien pursuant to
subdivision (c) shall have the same effect as recordation of an
abstract of a money judgment recorded pursuant to Article 2
(commencing with Section 697.310) of Chapter 2 of Division 2 of Title
9 of Part 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The lien created shall
have the same priority as a judgment lien on real property and shall
continue in effect until released. Upon order of the board of
trustees, an abatement lien created under this section may be
released or subordinated in the same manner as a judgment lien on
real property may be released or subordinated.
