Plumas County Municipal Code Ch. 6 Sewer Service Charges in Taylorsville County Service Area

The following procedures shall be followed in collecting charges for sewer disposal service in Taylorsville County Service Area:

(a) Once each year the Board shall cause to be prepared a written report which shall contain a description of each parcel of real property receiving sewage disposal service within the meaning of subsection (2) of Section 25210.4a of the Government Code of the State in Taylorsville County Service Area and the amount of the charge for each parcel for such year, computed in conformity with the procedure set forth in this chapter authorizing the collection of such charges on the tax roll. Such report shall be filed with the Clerk of the Board.

(b) Upon the filing of such report, the Clerk of the Board shall fix a time, date, and place for a hearing thereon and for filing objections or protests thereto. The Clerk of the Board shall publish a notice of such hearing as provided in Section 6066 of the Government Code of the State, prior to the date set for the 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 shall hear and consider all objections or protects, if any, to the report and may continue the hearing from time to time. Upon the conclusion of the hearing, the Board 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 charges 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 procedure and sale in the case of delinquency as provided for such taxes. All laws applicable to the levy, collection, and enforcement of County ad valorem property taxes shall be applicable to such charges, except that if the real property to which such charges relate 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 such taxes would become delinquent, then the charge confirmed pursuant to this chapter shall not result in a lien against such real property but instead shall be transferred to the unsecured roll for collection.
