Article IV - Casino Control Commission — Duties and Powers
§ 420. Collection of fees, penalties or tax
Universal Citation: V.I. Code tit. 32, § 420 (2019)
- At any time within five years after any amount of fees or interest or penalties thereon required to be collected pursuant to the provisions of this chapter shall become due and payable, the Commission is authorized to bring a civil action in the courts of this territory or any other territory, or state of the United States, in the name of this Government, to collect the amount delinquent, together with penalties and interest. An action may be brought whether or not the person owing the amount is at such time an applicant, licensee or registrant pursuant to the provision of this chapter. If such action is brought in this Territory, a writ of attachment may be issued and no bond or affidavit prior to the issuance thereon shall be required. In all actions in this territory, the records of the Commission shall be prima facie evidence of the determination of the fee or the amount of the delinquency.
- Each debt that is due and payable as a result of fees or interest and penalties thereon required to be collected pursuant to this chapter or the regulations promulgated thereunder, including any compensation authorized, and each regulatory obligation imposed as condition upon the issuance or renewal of a casino license which requires the licensee to maintain, as a fiduciary, a fund for a specific regulatory purpose, shall constitute a lien on the real property owned or hereafter acquired by the applicant, licensee or registrant owing such a debt or on whom such an obligation has been imposed. Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, such a lien shall be a first lien paramount to all prior or subsequent liens, claims, or encumbrances on that property.
