§ 3.20.155. Recovery of administrative citation fines, costs, expenses, fees, and attorneys' fees.

The city may collect any past due administrative citation fines, costs, expenses, fees, and attorneys' fees by use of all available legal means, including, but not limited to, personal collection from the responsible parties, judgment liens, personal property liens, special assessments against the parcel of real property containing the violations cited, and submission to the Franchise Tax Board for collection through an intercept collection program. The city may also recover all fines, costs, expenses, fees, and attorneys' fees associated with the assessment, enforcement, processing, and collection of the fines associated with the administrative citation in accordance with Chapter 1.10, Chapter 3.36, Chapter 3.56, and any other provisions of this code, or as provided by any other law. The remedies prescribed by this section shall be cumulative, and the use of any action to collect any such amounts as a debt by civil action shall not bar the use of any other remedy provided by this chapter or as otherwise provided by law. The fines, costs, expenses, fees, and attorneys' fees contemplated by this section are deemed nuisance abatement costs for purposes of collecting these amounts as a special assessment against the parcel of real property containing the violations cited in accordance with Government Code section 38773.5.
