The amount of any fee, service charge, utility charge, license, or tax of any nature whatsoever imposed by this Code or by any other resolution, ordinance, rule, regulation or in any other fashion by the Town of Apple Valley shall be deemed a civil debt owing to the Town. An action may be commenced in the name of the Town in any court of competent jurisdiction for the collection of the amount of any such delinquent or unpaid fee, service charge, utility charge, license, or tax, together with any penalties applicable thereto as prescribed by this Code or any other enactment. Such action may also be commenced for the collection of any other amount or debt determined to be due the Town on account to any contractual obligation or on account of any tortuous act or conduct by any person. The remedy prescribed by this Section shall be cumulative, and the use of an action to collect such an amount as a debt by civil action shall not bar the use of any other remedy provided by this Code or by law for the purpose of enforcing the provisions thereof.
