If the service charge remains <br />unpaid thirty (30) days after a notice of delinquency is sent to the recipient of the service <br />or the recipient’s representative or estate, the City or its contractor on behalf of the City <br />may use any lawful means allowed to a private party for the collection of an unsecured <br />delinquent debt. The City may also use the authority of Section 202.20, subdivision 3, to <br />collect unpaid service charges of this kind from delinquent recipients of services who are <br />owners of taxable real property in the City, or areas served by the City for emergency <br />services. (Added, Ord. 822, 7-2-09) <br /> <br />Subd. 3. Collection of Unpaid Service Charges and Fees. If the City is authorized to impose <br />a service charge or fee on the owner, lessee, or occupant of property, or any of them, for a <br />governmental service provided by the City, the City may certify to the County Auditor, <br />on or before October 15 for each year, any unpaid service charges or fees which shall <br />then be collected together with property taxes levied against the property. A charge or <br />fee may be certified to the Auditor only if, on or before September 15, the City has given <br />written notice to the property owner of its intention to certify the charge or fee to the <br />Auditor. The service charges or fees shall be subject to the same penalties, interest, and <br />other conditions provided for the collection of property taxes. This Section is in addition <br />to any other law authorizing the collection of unpaid costs and service charges or fees. <br />(Added, Ord. 822, 7-2-09) <br /> <br /> <br />City of Mounds View
