§ 15-85. Lien.

Until paid, all rates, fees and other charges provided for in this article shall constitute a lien pursuant to C.R.S. 31-15-302 on or against the property being served. At the time service is disconnected in accordance with section 15-84, or at any time thereafter, the town may notify the owner of the property being served of the town's intent to file a lien as provided herein. A collection fee of $50.00 shall be added to any account for which a notice of intent to file a lien is given. The town may, as provided by law, commence foreclosure proceedings on any lot or parcel of property on which a lien has been filed pursuant to this article. An additional charge for attorney fees in a reasonable amount to be determined by the court shall be added to the amount due on any account once a complaint in foreclosure of a lien has been filed. In addition, actual costs, such as filing fees and recording costs, shall also be charged to said account. In the event foreclosure proceedings result in judgement, additional attorney fees and expenses may be added as permitted by the court.
