Police & Community SafetyGovernance

In Plain English

Some property owners owe the city money for code violations, nuisance cleanup costs, and foreclosure-related fines. The city can add these unpaid bills as liens on the properties, similar to unpaid taxes. If approved, the city collects the money when properties are sold or refinanced.
