Where the full amount due the city is not paid by the owner within 30 days after the disposal of the litter, as provided for in BMC 10.60.220 and 10.60.230, then, and in that case, the city may cause to be recorded in the Whatcom County auditor’s office, courthouse, Bellingham, Washington, a sworn statement showing the costs and expense incurred for the work, the date the work was done, and the location of the property on which the work was done. The recordation of such sworn statement shall constitute a lien and privilege on the property and shall remain in full force and effect for the amount due in principal and interest, plus costs of court, if any, for collection, until final payment has been made. The costs and expenses shall be collected in the manner fixed by law for the collection of civil debts owed to the city. Sworn statements recorded in accordance with the provisions of this section shall be prima facie evidence that all legal formalities have been complied with and that the work has been done properly and satisfactorily, and shall be full notice to every person concerned that the amount of the statement, plus interest, constitutes a charge against the property designated or described in the statement and that the same is due and collectible as provided by law. [Ord. 8573 § 15(V)(4), 1977].
