This process is pursued only after all other collection <br />methods have been exhausted by the Finance Department in coordination with the issuing <br />department. The purpose of these assessment liens is to recover funds the City has expended in <br />providing specialized services. <br />Typically, the collection process spans several months, beginning with repeated billings and <br />monthly statements sent by the Finance Department to affected residents and businesses. <br />Finance coordinates with departments on the billing and collection efforts with the option to <br />assess lien being the last resort. If an account remains delinquent despite repeated efforts, the <br />City initiates a formal lien process by issuing at least three notices of intent sent to the property <br />address and/or an alternative address if given, starting with the May statements. Staff offer <br />multiple opportunities for the account holder to resolve outstanding charges before further <br />collection actions are pursued.
