§ 5431 County Abatement Lien Notice

Key Takeaways

•If the county spends money to fix a problem (like cleaning up trash or fixing a dangerous building), they must write down how much they spent within 30 days after paying for it.
•Once they write it down, the county can make the property owner pay them back for the costs.
•The property owner has to pay back the money from the day the county first said they would fix the problem.

Example

Your neighbor’s house is full of trash, and the county cleans it up because it’s dangerous.

The county spends $5,000 to clean it up. They must write down that they spent $5,000 within 30 days after paying. Now, your neighbor has to pay the county back, and the county can make them pay starting from the day they first said they would clean the house.

A notice which sets forth the amount expended shall be recorded within 30 days after the date of payment of the last item of expense of the abatement by the county. The amount is a lien from the date of the recording of the notice of abatement pursuant to Section 5427. (Enacted by Stats. 1967, Ch. 15.)
