The County establishes the following procedures for the collection of fees for Zones A and B:

A.

Once a year the Board of Supervisors shall cause to be prepared a written report which shall contain a description of each parcel of real property receiving the particular extended service and the amount of the charge for each parcel for the year computed in conformity with the procedure set forth in the ordinance authorizing collection of the charges on the tax roll. The report shall be filed with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors.

B.

Upon the filing of the report, the Clerk shall fix a time, date and place for hearing thereon and for filing objections or protests thereto. The Clerk shall publish notice of the hearing as provided in this Code prior to the date set for hearing in a newspaper of general circulation printed and published in the County.

C.

At the time, date and place stated in the notice, the Board of Supervisors shall hear and consider all objections or protests, if any, to the report and may continue the hearing from time to time. Upon conclusion of the hearing, the Board of Supervisors may adopt, revise, change, reduce or modify any charge and shall make its determination upon each charge as described in the report and thereafter, by resolution, shall confirm the report.

D.

The charges set forth in the report, as confirmed, shall appear as a separate item on the tax bill. The charge may be collected at the same time and in the same manner as ordinary County ad valorem property taxes are collected and shall be subject to the same penalties and the same procedures and sale in case of delinquency as provided for the taxes. All laws applicable to the levy, collection and enforcement of County ad valorem property taxes shall be applicable to the charge, except that if the real property to which the charge relates has been transferred or conveyed to a bona fide purchaser for value, or if a lien of a bona fide encumbrancer for value has been created and attaches thereon, prior to the date on which the first installment of the taxes would become delinquent, then the charge confirmed pursuant to this section shall not result in a lien against such real property but instead shall be transferred to the unsecured roll for collection.
