Levy special property assessments for unpaid city fines and cleanup costs
In Plain English
Some property owners owe the city money for code violations, cleanup costs after nuisances, and foreclosure-related fines. When owners don't pay these bills, the city can add the debt to their property tax bill as a special assessment. If approved, these unpaid amounts become a lien on the property until paid.
