Section 31147 Of Article 10. Stinson Beach County Water District From California Water Code >> Division 12. >> Part 5. >> Chapter 1. >> Article 10.
31147
. (a) Violation of any of the provisions of a district
regulation adopted pursuant to Section 31145 may be abated as a
public nuisance by the district, and the board may by regulation
establish a procedure for the abatement of such a nuisance and to
assess the cost of such abatement to the violator. If the violator
maintains the nuisance upon real property in which he has a fee title
interest, the assessment shall constitute a lien upon such real
property.
(b) The amount of any costs incurred by the district in abating
such a nuisance upon real property, shall be added to, and become
part of, the annual taxes next levied upon the real property subject
to abatement and shall constitute a lien upon that real property as
of the same time and in the same manner as does the tax lien securing
such annual taxes. All laws applicable to the levy, collection, and
enforcement of district 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
attached thereon, prior to the date on which the first installment of
such taxes would become delinquent, then a lien which would
otherwise be imposed by this section shall not attach to such real
property and the delinquent and unpaid charges relating to such
property shall be transferred to the unsecured roll for collection.
Any amounts of such assessments collected are to be credited to the
funds of the district from which the costs of abatement were
expended.
