A. Following the adoption of a resolution by the City Council imposing a lien, the City Clerk shall file the same as a judgment lien in the office of the County Recorder of Marin County, California. The lien may carry such additional administrative charges as set forth by resolution of the City Council.

B. In addition to the foregoing, the City Clerk may file a certified copy of the City Council’s resolution in the office of the County Treasurer-Tax Collector, whereupon it shall be the duty of the County Treasurer-Tax Collector to add the unpaid amount as a special assessment to the next regular tax bills levied against the property for municipal purposes. Thereafter the amounts 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 the same procedure under foreclosure and sale in case of delinquency as provided for ordinary municipal taxes.

C. The lien provided in this Chapter shall have no force and effect until recorded with the County Recorder. Once recorded, the resolution shall have the force and effect and priority of a judgment lien governed by the provisions of Section 697.340 of the Code of Civil Procedure and may be extended as provided in Sections 683.110 to 683.220, inclusive, of the Code of Civil Procedure.
