Section 8830 Of Part 14. Foreclosure By Action From California Streets And Highways Code >> Division 10. >> Part 14.
8830
. (a) As a cumulative remedy, if any assessment or reassessment
or installment thereof, or of any interest thereon, together with
any penalties, costs, fees, and other charges accruing under
applicable taxation provisions are not paid when due, the legislative
body may order that the same be collected by an action brought in
the superior court to foreclose the lien thereof as provided by this
part.
(b) The legislative body may, by resolution adopted prior to
issuance of bonds under this division, covenant for the benefit of
bondholders to commence and diligently prosecute any foreclosure
action regarding delinquent installments of any assessments or
reassessments which secure the bonds that are to be issued, and, at
any time, may assign the causes of action arising from the
foreclosure to a trustee to do so on behalf of the bondholders. The
resolution may specify a deadline for commencement of the foreclosure
action and other terms and conditions as the legislative body may
determine to be reasonable regarding the foreclosure action.
(c) Except as provided in Section 8836, all installments,
interest, penalties, costs, fees, and other charges that are
delinquent at the time of the ordering of a foreclosure action shall
be collected in the action. If a lot or parcel of property has not
been sold pursuant to judgment in the foreclosure action at the time
that subsequent installments and interest become delinquent, the
court may include the subsequent installments, interest, penalties,
costs, fees, and other charges in the judgment or modified judgment.
(d) For purposes of financing delinquent assessments pursuant to
Section 26220, the legislative body may act as if it were a board of
supervisors.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, no
trustee or joint powers authority shall be obligated to accept the
tender of bonds in satisfaction of any obligation arising from a
delinquent assessment, although either may do so if authorized to do
so by the legislative body.
(f) An action to determine the validity of any bonds issued, any
joint powers agreement entered into, and any related agreements
entered into, by a joint powers agency acting pursuant to this
section may be brought by the joint powers agency pursuant to Chapter
9 (commencing with Section 860) of Title 10 of Part 2 of the Code of
Civil Procedure. Any appeal from a judgment in the action shall be
commenced within 30 days after entry of judgment.
