Bill > HB0013

This bill allows municipalities, which include cities and towns, to place a political subdivision lien on a property if past-due fees for certain services remain unpaid. These services include water utility, sewer utility, and utility-adjacent services like storm water infrastructure maintenance. The bill outlines a process for municipalities to notify customers about overdue fees, including warnings about potential liens, and specifies procedures for notifying property owners if they are different from the customer receiving the service. It also allows municipalities to charge interest on past-due service fees, calculated similarly to property tax liens, and to collect a one-time penalty of up to 8% as an administrative cost, but not to charge interest on this penalty. Additionally, the bill makes related amendments concerning water rates and rules for water service areas.
