Text

(a) A rate or charge is not enforceable as a
lien against a subsequent owner of property unless the lien for the rate
or charge was recorded with the county recorder before the conveyance
to the subsequent owner.
(b) If the property is conveyed before the lien can be filed, the
officer of the district who is charged with the collection of the rate or
charge shall notify the person who owned the property at the time the
fee became payable. The notice must inform the person that payment,
including penalty fees for delinquencies, is due not less than fifteen
(15) days after the date of the notice. If payment is not received within
one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the notice, the amount
due may be expensed as a bad debt loss.
