46A-10B-24. Collection of unpaid charges--Lien created--Enforcement of provisions of chapter. Any charge made pursuant to this chapter that is not paid when due may be recovered in an action at law by the governing body. Any stormwater utility fee or stormwater basin fee made pursuant to this chapter is a lien upon the property to which the fee is associated from the date the fee becomes due until the fee is paid. The lien shall be recorded in the office of the county register of deeds by the governing body. The owner of property subject to fees established pursuant to § 46A-10B-20 is obligated to pay the fee. The obligation may be enforced by the governing body in the same manner as delinquent property taxes are enforced. The employees of the governing body may, at all reasonable times, have access to any premises served by the governing body for inspection, repair, or the enforcement of the provisions of this chapter.
