Big Bear Lake Municipal Code Ch. 1.08 General Provisions

A prevailing party in any judicial action, administrative proceeding, or special proceeding to abate, or cause the abatement of, a violation of this Code or any public nuisance, or in any appeal or other judicial action arising therefrom, is entitled to recover reasonable attorney fees. Attorney fees are not recoverable by any party as a prevailing party unless the city elects in writing to seek recovery of the city's attorney fees at the initiation of that individual action or proceeding. Failure to make such an election precludes any entitlement to, or award of, attorney fees in favor of any party. Unpaid attorney fees shall constitute a debt that is collectible in any manner allowed by law.
