RIVERSIDE MUNICIPAL CODE RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA resolution of the City Council assessing the costs of abatement as a lien on the land, adopted pursuant to the preceding section. B. Notice of lien shall be mailed by certified mail to the property owner, if the property owner's identity can be determined from the County Assessor's or County Recorder's records. The notice shall be given at the time of imposing the assessment and shall specify that the property may be sold after three years by the Tax Collector for unpaid delinquent assessments. The Tax Collector's power of sale shall not be affected by the failure of the property owner to receive notice. C. The County Auditor shall enter each assessment on the County tax roll upon the parcel of land. The assessment shall be collected at the same time and in the same manner as ordinary municipal taxes are collected, and shall be subject to the same penalties and procedure and sale in case of delinquency as is provided for ordinary municipal taxes. All laws applicable to the levy, collection and enforcement of municipal taxes shall be applicable to the special assessment. However, if any real property to which the cost of abatement relates 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 the taxes would become delinquent, then the cost of abatement shall not result in a lien against the real property but instead shall be transferred to the unsecured roll for collection. The tax collector's power of sale shall not be affected by the failure of the property owner to receive notice.
